Project: Global Payroll Implementation & Stabilization

In this project, I worked as an Oracle Fusion Payroll Functional Consultant responsible for end-to-end payroll configuration, processing, and ongoing operations. My role included setting up elements, eligibility, fast formulas, timecard integrations, costing, payments, and statutory rules. I supported payroll parallel runs, validated results, resolved configuration gaps, and performed payroll reconciliations. I also handled HDL loads, US tax setups, retro calculations, check printing, balance adjustments, and post-go-live issue resolution. I collaborated closely with technical teams to fine-tune integrations and BI reports, and led quarterly patch testing and regression validation to ensure seamless payroll performance. Additionally, I contributed to Redwood UI adoption and AI Agent testing to enhance automation in payroll operations.

Project: HCM Cloud Enhancements & Support

This project focused on managing and optimizing Oracle HCM modules such as Payroll, Absence, Help Desk, and Compensation. I worked directly with clients to gather requirements, design functional solutions, and implement new features across HCM Cloud. My responsibilities included configuring workflows, UDT

updates, role assignments, security validations, and cross-module integrations. I performed detailed functional testing, prepared BRDs/MD50s, and resolved production incidents. I supported quarterly updates, reviewed release notes, validated new features, and ensured minimal impact on live operations. I also participated in Redwood and AI-driven feature rollout, conducting impact analysis and coordinating with multiple teams to improve HCM usability and process efficiency.

Project: Core HR Setup & Data Management

As part of this Core HR engagement, I contributed to setting up foundational HR configurations including enterprise structures, workforce structures, locations, jobs, positions, grade ladders, and employment lifecycle actions. I worked on data loads using HDL for hires, transfers, terminations, assignments, and corrections. My role included configuring approval rules, lookups, user roles, and personal information fields. I supported day-to-day Core HR operations, troubleshooting data issues, auditing HR transactions, and improving HR data accuracy. I led Core HR testing during quarterly patches, validated new functionality, and supported end users with process training and documentation. This project also involved Redwood Core HR testing and adoption, ensuring alignment with updated UX standards.
