For analysts who want to read code, query data, and talk to engineers as equals.
Most analysts stall because the technical side feels off limits. This guide covers the practical skills that close that gap: reading code, SQL, and APIs, plus the tools delivery teams actually use, so you can contribute well beyond requirements.
View on GumroadFor BAs and functional analysts who get handed one-line business requests.
Turning a vague business request into a functional spec a developer can build is the core analyst skill, and the hardest to learn on the job. This guide walks the full path with real banking examples.
View on GumroadFor analysts documenting or integrating APIs.
Clear API docs are what make an integration ship on time. This guide shows how to document endpoints, payloads, errors, and auth so developers and partners can build against your spec without guesswork.
View on GumroadFor QA and technical analysts who test APIs and own quality on delivery teams.
Testing an API well takes more than clicking send in Postman. This guide covers request design, assertions, negative cases, contract checks, and automation, so you can prove an API behaves correctly before it reaches production.
View on GumroadFor QA and technical analysts validating event-driven systems.
Validating Kafka flows by hand is slow and misses regressions. This guide shows how to automate event validation with Postman, so you can prove messages are produced and consumed correctly, repeatably.
View on GumroadFor analysts who want to move into payments and banking work.
Banking projects expect domain knowledge most analysts pick up the hard way. This guide covers how payments, core systems, and regulated delivery actually work, so you can interview for and deliver financial services work with confidence.
View on GumroadFor analysts specifying, testing, or evaluating AI and LLM features.
AI systems are landing in delivery work, and they fail in ways traditional specs do not catch. This guide explains MCP, RAG, and agents in practical terms, so you can scope, test, and evaluate them like any other system.
View on GumroadFor analysts who want proven templates instead of a blank page.
Twenty real deliverables you can adapt: specs, test cases, process maps, and more. Skip the blank-page problem and start from structures that have shipped on real banking projects.
