Summary
With over 20 years of experience in software development, implementation, upgrades, and maintenance of PeopleSoft applications (HCM/FIN/CRM), I have a strong understanding of both the functional and technical aspects of various PeopleSoft modules. These include HRMS/HCM (HR, ESS, MSS, ePerformance, Payroll, Time & Labor, Absence Management, Base Benefits), PeopleSoft FSCM (Accounts Payable, Purchase Order, Travel and Expenses, Asset Management, eProcurement, Supplier Contracts), and PeopleSoft CRM (Case Management, Correspondence Management). Proficient in PeopleTools, I have expertise in Application Designer, Application Engine, Upgrade Assistant, Component Interface, Integration Broker, Security Administrator, and Approval Workflow Engine. As a Senior PeopleSoft Technical Consultant, I have designed and reviewed technical designs, developed payroll interfaces between PeopleSoft and SAP, and led complex development efforts. I have also collaborated closely with functional teams to design solutions and provided guidance to resolve technical issues. In my role as a Team Lead, I coordinated tasks, facilitated problem-solving for complex issues, and offered functional advice to the team. Additionally, I have created various reports (Global Payroll, Pension, Time & Labor, Workforce) and developed custom workflows and interfaces, including creating a new delegation framework and managing data uploads. I have worked on enhancing modules like MRS (Manager Request System), Employee Reviews, and Call Logging Systems, and collaborated with the SAP team for seamless integration between PeopleSoft HR and SAP.
