Adrian Wildermuth · Profile & Experience
I am a Senior Business Analyst and Requirements Engineer. My background in development and architecture shapes how I clarify requirements: precise about the business need, with implementation in mind.
How I work
My career began in electronics and software development. It progressed through software architecture, technical project management and product ownership to business analysis, requirements engineering and system architecture.
I connect the business perspective with the questions that development and architecture teams need to answer. I am particularly interested in the terminology, rules and dependencies that seem self-evident at first but turn out to mean different things to different people.
I have been self-employed since 2003. My experience includes assignments lasting several years. I support business and technical clarification across different project phases, working closely with the existing teams.
My project experience spans rail and public transport, financial services and insurance, telecommunications and industrial systems. I have led nearshore development teams in rail and fintech projects.
Career
Business and technical analysis of a complex traffic management system in international rail transport. Focus areas include system architecture, requirements engineering, domain clarification and leadership of a nearshore development team. I now also use AI to support requirements engineering and implementation based on clear specifications (spec-driven development).
Connecting business needs and implementation in rail transport, fintech and insurance. This also includes digital forensics in fintech. Business process and interface analysis, product ownership, algorithms, quality assurance, leadership and organisational support of nearshore development teams, and collaboration with distributed development teams.

Initial conversation
I support project teams primarily through longer-term engagements as an external Senior Business Analyst and Requirements Engineer. In the Bern region, I also work on site; across Switzerland, I work in a hybrid setup. Subject to availability, I also take on shorter analysis and advisory engagements focused on clearly defined questions.
