Meet the Lane8 Elf
Every team has someone who keeps the wheels turning. Ours wears a striped hat.
When Lane8 shared its Christmas shout-out, it was hard to fit everything Fan does into one picture: recruitment, marketing, photography, development, PC work, the Christmas party and the to-do list, all checked twice. This is the story behind it.
Her role as a Business Analyst
Fan joined Lane8 in July 2026 as a Junior Business Analyst, with a Master of Management Information Systems from Edith Cowan University. In her industry capstone she led the full requirements lifecycle, from elicitation through to UAT and handover, and she brought that toolkit straight into her work at Lane8: requirements, process modelling, user stories and data, across a mix of internal and client-facing work.
Leading Cur8 and the Lane8 website
Cur8, the Lane8 client portal, is Fan's main project. She drives its delivery end to end: a private portal where clients register, browse Lane8 consultants and their profiles, and ask Lane8 for an introduction. She also set up how changes safely reach the live portal, with every update built and tested before it goes live.
Fan also looks after the Lane8 website, including this Community section, keeping it up to date with our events, people and news.
Contributions across Lane8
Alongside her business analysis work, Fan contributes across many parts of the business, often behind the scenes.
01Finding great people
Fan helps Lane8 find great BAs and specialists, working through roles and shortlists so the right people end up with the right clients.
02Getting our marketing out the door
From LinkedIn posts to the Perth BA Tribe events, Fan helps tell the Lane8 story and bring the Perth BA community together.
03Behind the camera
Many of the photos and videos from our events are Fan's work, including the LinkedIn headshots she took for guests at BA Open Mic.
04Building software
Beyond Cur8 and the website, Fan is hands-on with development, building the tools that keep Lane8 running.
05Keeping everything moving
PC work, the inbox, the to-do list and the Christmas party. If something needs doing, chances are Fan has already done it. Then checked it twice.
Thank you, Fan
It is the work that lets the rest of us focus on our clients, and it does not happen by magic. It happens because Fan makes it happen.
You are an all-round star, and we are lucky to have you on the team. Great work, Lane8 Elf!
