Vietnamese in Australia.
BA by day. Learning always.

I'm a Business Analyst and Technical Writer with 3 years in Tech. I map processes, write documentation that real users actually understand, and help enterprise teams go live with confidence.

I'm documenting my journey from junior to senior BA — sharing everything I learn about business analysis, AI tools, and building a career in Australia.

Xin chào — tôi cũng viết bằng tiếng Việt trên Facebook.

About

A little
about me

Who I am

Hi, I'm Tracy — a Business Analyst and Technical Writer based in Darwin, Australia. I moved here from Vietnam and have spent the last 3 years working in Tech — mapping processes, writing documentation that real users actually understand, and helping enterprise teams go live with confidence.

I'm originally from Vietnam and I'm currently working toward my Permanent Residency in Australia.

What I do

My work sits at the intersection of process and people. I translate complex business needs into clear workflows and documentation that teams can actually use.

  • Process mappingAs-Is and To-Be flows using Visio
  • DocumentationUser manuals and training materials using MadCap Flare
  • UAT & testingMaking sure what's built works for real people
  • Go-live supportTracking readiness and training completion before launch
  • System configurationCode table setup and data management

Why I share

I started this space to learn in public. I'm working through the BABOK — the core knowledge guide for Business Analysts — and sharing what I learn every week on LinkedIn and in my newsletter.

Not because I'm an expert. Because writing forces me to understand things properly. And I believe the fastest way to learn something is to explain it to someone else.

I also write honestly about what it's like to navigate a tech career in Australia as a Vietnamese woman — the language barriers, the cultural differences, and the small wins that make it worth it.

What a user story actually means

I used to think it was just a fancy way to write requirements. Turns out the perspective changes everything.

Week 1 · LinkedIn

AI × work

I used Copilot to draft a process doc. Honest review.

It saved 40 minutes on structure. But I still had to do all the thinking. AI is a tool, not a replacement.

Journey

Working in Australia as a Vietnamese woman

The hardest part wasn't the visa. It wasn't the work. It was learning how to speak up in meetings.
