What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a QA/Test Analyst role focused on payroll and financial systems—owning SIT/UAT, regression, API validation, and backend data accuracy—while collaborating with HR/payroll and IT to ensure compliant payroll outcomes.

I’m a detail-oriented QA Analyst with 4+ years of experience in payroll, enterprise, and financial systems testing. I validate payroll computations, employee data workflows, integrations, and backend data accuracy—especially across UK Payroll Testing with statutory validation and compliance, as well as international payroll testing with multi-country configurations.

I bring strong System Integration Testing (SIT) and User Acceptance Testing (UAT) experience, covering regression, end-to-end, functional and manual testing, plus defect management and root cause analysis. I use JIRA and Zephyr Scale, Postman and Swagger, and SQL (PostgreSQL) with MongoDB/MySQL for backend data validation, and I automate with Katalon Studio to support reliable UAT cycles and accurate payroll outcomes.
