Kourtney Ramseur
Functional Analyst III, Nakapuna
Location: La Plata, MD United States
Joined: Jun 9th, 2025
About   (request update)
As a Functional Analyst III at Nakupuna Companies, I have over a year of experience configuring PeopleSoft Global Payroll to improve HR and pay processes for Army operations. I use SQL for data analysis and functional testing, support sprint planning and backlog refinement, and mentor junior analysts to strengthen team collaboration. I also document functional designs and present solutions to stakeholders to ensure alignment with project goals.

Previously, as a Senior Systems Engineer at G2 Ops, I developed System Engineering Plans, Concept of Operations documents, and Analyses of Alternatives to support decision-making. My experience with JIRA administration and process automation improved operational efficiency, and I remain focused on delivering impactful, technology-driven solutions.
