Professional Experience
- Architected custom Workday Extend applications and complex multi-endpoint Orchestrations for enterprise tech leaders (including a global on-demand delivery platform and an enterprise cybersecurity firm), bridging proprietary HCM workflows with external vendor systems.
- Diagnosed and resolved mission-critical binary streaming defects inside the Workday Maya runtime engine, overcoming Base64 buffer overflow and null-padding limits to engineer resilient PubSub data pipelines into an external Talent Acquisition AI Hub.
- Pioneered early-adoption architecture on the Workday Developer Agent platform, engineering "Agent Syft" for the 2026 DevCon Hackathon—an AI data quality assistant for Revenue Management combining conversational reasoning (
.agent / .agentskill), sandbox Python fuzzy matching, and human-in-the-loop merge Orchestrations.
- Built automated SOW estimation toolkits and standardized rapid Extend PMD/orchestration generation across distributed consulting teams.
- Implemented strict Integration System User (ISU) permissions and domain security policies, enforcing least-privilege access and ensuring zero security compliance incidents across client tenants.
- Led technical innovation and product architecture, spearheading development of custom enterprise applications, automation utilities, and analytical dashboards integrated directly into Workday.
- Partnered with C-suite stakeholders and client HR/Finance leadership to analyze workflow bottlenecks, translating pain points into production-ready Extend applications and automated integration jobs.
- Established standardized code review, version control, and quality assurance processes across distributed teams of integration consultants and technical analysts.
- Created and conducted structured training programs for entry-level consultants, mentoring junior cohorts to successfully achieve demanding Workday certifications and accelerating billable deployment.
- Served as the primary escalation lead for high-stakes client requirements deemed "impossible," reverse-engineering platform limitations to maintain a 100% customer delivery record.
- Directed end-to-end integration delivery across concurrent enterprise client implementations, managing and mentoring junior integration analysts and architects.
- Designed and maintained dozens of bespoke Workday Studio assemblies, Core Connectors, and BIRT reporting layouts spanning Payroll, Benefits, HCM, and Financial Management.
- Served as lead escalation engineer for mission-critical integration defects, optimizing complex XSLT transformation routines to reduce runtime latency and prevent data transmission drops.
- Supervised post-production Application Management Services (AMS) for high-profile enterprise accounts, maintaining dozens of critical data integrations and outbound file exchanges.
- Managed bi-annual Workday feature release regression testing, preemptively remediating integration breaks and advising client leadership on new platform capabilities.
- Delivered full-lifecycle Workday implementation and integration architecture for Fortune 500 accounts within Deloitte’s Human Capital practice.
- Partnered with cross-functional workstreams (HCM, Payroll, Benefits) to map integration specifications, author custom XSLT transformations, and lead joint functional/technical testing.
- Developed, tested, and deployed over 100+ inbound and outbound Workday integrations utilizing Workday Studio, Core Connectors, EIBs, and custom XML reports.
- Diagnosed and resolved complex integration failures, troubleshooting schema discrepancies, SFTP handshake timeouts, and authentication tokens.
