Hi, I’m Nadine Tolentino. I’m a Senior QA Engineer with 10+ years of experience spanning HRIS/payroll and financial systems. I’ve led QA efforts on PayAsia by Deel’s Leave module refactor, maintaining release cadence across legacy and modern payroll while serving as the SME for Leave and edge-case clarifications. I’ve helped ensure business continuity during migrations and mentored teammates through complex testing scenarios. I also excel in collaboration with product and engineering, driving clear defect triage, risk-based test design, and reliable release quality. I introduced AI-assisted prompts to speed up bulk test data generation and payroll validation, cutting data prep time by ~60% and reducing manual verification time. My work at FIS involved mentoring juniors, creating onboarding standards, and optimizing regression through reusable test data. I’m passionate about delivering predictable releases and high-quality software through thoughtful planning and hands-on testing.
