A business analyst who helps businesses solve complex problems.
I am Oscar, a Senior Business Analyst in Sydney. I help businesses untangle complex problems: understanding the process, writing clear requirements and seeing the solution through to a working release. I use AI where it adds value, to prototype, test and build faster, so the requirements are proven, not just written.
Why Max34Lab exists
By day I am a Senior Business Analyst. Max34Lab is what I do because I love it: building things that help people, giving something back, and learning how things really work, including what AI will make possible next.
That is why Max Photo Frames is free. There are no subscriptions, no ads and nothing to unlock, because a simple way to frame and keep a memory should not cost anything. It is also where I practise my craft in the open, so you can see not only the finished app but the thinking behind it: the problem, the requirements, the trade-offs and the proof.
What I bring, and where to see it
I combine structured business analysis with enough technical depth to work closely with designers and engineers, and to build working prototypes and products myself, using AI to speed the build up. Every skill below has real work behind it on this site.
- Process modelling. Seven stages every change follows, from a question to the App Store, with the eleven detailed steps behind them. See the delivery flow
- Requirements and user stories. Over 950 numbered requirements across 25 epics from version 3.0 to 3.3, more than 700 of them with formal acceptance criteria. See the epics and stories
- Design. Screens measured on iPhone and iPad and checked against Apple’s design guidelines. See the app, step by step
- Using AI well. I used AI to speed up the build of Max Photo Frames, directing it from my own requirements and reviewing every change against them. A-Insurance went from requirements to a working app in under two days the same way. See the numbers See A-Insurance
- Testing and release. 3,074 automated tests, a separate line for each release, and fixes shipped without holding up new work. See the build history
What comes next
Max Photo Frames 4.0 is being planned now: shorter menus, a new bottom bar, the foldable iPhone and collage. New case studies will follow the same structure, so you can see the problem, the requirements, the build and the proof for each one.
