Hiroki T.

I help fintech and SaaS teams build and ship products that work for people using them, from requirements through to release, across various markets. I'm a Business Analyst / Product Owner with 8+ years in fintech and wealthtech across Japan, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand. I turn complex business and regulatory requirements into clear scope, well-written user stories and platforms people can actually use. I work comfortably with stakeholders, designers and engineers across regions and time zones. That delivery background is what makes my localization work different. I don't just translate strings. I check how copy maps to system behaviour, edge cases, error states and release constraints, so the product holds up in production, not just in design mocks. What I help with: • Product ownership: backlog management, prioritisation, roadmap planning, stakeholder alignment • Business analysis: requirements elicitation, user stories, acceptance criteria, process and solution design •Software localization and internationalization: UI/UX copy, glossaries, tone consistency, linguistic QA (Figma, Crowdin, Notion). Strongest in English ⇄ Japanese • QA and UAT for platform and data migration projects: test planning, SQL data validation • Product and market research to support a new market launch or expansion Why clients choose me: • Native-level English and Japanese, with lived experience across Asia-Pacific markets • Years inside product delivery teams, working directly with designers, engineers and QA • Regulated fintech experience: authentication, regulatory reporting, platform migrations • I catch issues early, before they become expensive to fix Tools & Skills: Jira | Confluence | Figma | Crowdin | Visio | SQL (T-SQL, Oracle SQL) | Python | Excel (VBA/macros) | Agile / Scrum | UX Writing | AI tooling (Copilot, Claude) If you're building, launching or localizing a product, or need a PO or BA who understands requirements and delivery, message me.
