## About

```text
At AccenturePrivate Ltd, I administer benefits, insurance and workers’ compensation across APAC, EMEA and AMS for a Fortune 500 client. I also led the client process transition, maintaining business continuity with zero disruption.

At Tata Consultancy Services, I managed in-house US payroll for more than 1,000 employees and supported recruitment operations for an Australian rail freight company. My work included payroll compliance, applicant screening, VEVO checks and PageUp recruitment processes.

Earlier, at AccentureHR Services, I supported payroll operations for Germany and the Czech Republic using ADP and SAP GlobalView, and led validation, statutory compliance, payments and year-end processing. I’ve also verified employment, education and credentials for Canada-based clients at Sterling Check.
