PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
Results-driven Workday HRIS Developer and Techno-Functional Consultant with 9+ years of enterprise experience architecting, configuring, and supporting end-to-end Workday HCM solutions across industries including healthcare, energy, and technology. Trusted subject matter expert across the full Workday HCM suite — Core HCM, Compensation, Benefits, Payroll, Payroll Tax, Recruiting, Onboarding, Talent Management, Absence, Time Tracking, Workforce Planning, Journeys, Learning, and Advanced Compensation — with hands-on ownership of business process design, eligibility and condition rule configuration, approval routing, notification architecture, and tenant configuration for workforces ranging from 10,000 to 40,000+ employees.
On the integration side, brings deep expertise in Workday Studio, EIB (inbound and outbound), Cloud Connect, PECI/PICOF payroll integrations, and XSLT transformation design — consistently delivering integrations that are maintainable, auditable, and built to fail gracefully rather than silently. Equally strong in Workday reporting, having built 30+ custom and composite reports, calculated field logic, and executive dashboards that give HR, Finance, and Operations teams real self-service analytics capability. Approaches Workday security design with a compliance-first mindset — applying least-privilege principles across role-based permissions, constrained security groups, and intersection security, with a track record of clean SOX and SOC 2 audit outcomes.
Beyond Workday, brings valuable depth in Full-Stack .NET development, Oracle EBS HRMS R12.2, and Oracle Compensation Workbench — a technical foundation that enables confident cross-platform integration design, legacy system data migration, and solution architecture that accounts for the broader enterprise technology ecosystem. This multi-platform fluency consistently produces Workday solutions that integrate cleanly downstream and hold up under real-world operational conditions.
Known for exceptional data integrity discipline, proactive release management, structured testing practices, and documentation that genuinely accelerates onboarding and audit readiness. Communicates effectively with both technical architects and non-technical HR and business stakeholders — translating complex system behavior into plain language and translating business requirements into precise Workday configuration. Thrives in Agile delivery environments, remote-first teams, and high-stakes production support scenarios where getting it right the first time matters.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Senior Workday HRIS Developer CDW Corporation Mar 2022 – Present • Remote • Houston, TX
Served as primary Workday developer and techno-functional SME across Core HCM, Compensation, Benefits, Recruiting, Onboarding, Absence, and Time Tracking — owning full business process configuration, condition rules, eligibility profiles, approval routing, and notification design for a 15,000+ employee workforce.
Designed and deployed Workday Studio integrations connecting Workday HCM to downstream payroll processors, benefit carriers, and timekeeping vendors — authoring XSLT transformation logic, implementing graceful error handling, and building integration monitoring reports that provided same-day visibility into processing failures.
Developed Workday EIB inbound/outbound integrations supporting mass data events — compensation changes, org restructures, benefits enrollment updates, and position data synchronization — with pre-load validation frameworks that eliminated data-quality errors before they reached Workday.
Configured Workday Advanced Compensation plans covering merit, bonus, and equity award cycles — designing budget pool structures, eligibility rules, worksheet layouts, multi-level approval hierarchies, and manager self-service experiences fully aligned to HR compensation policy.
Built 30+ Workday custom and composite reports with calculated fields, matrix reporting, and prompt-driven filtering — enabling HR, Finance, and payroll teams to self-serve workforce analytics that previously required manual IT data pulls, reducing ad-hoc report requests by ~60%.
Architected Workday security role design and domain policy configuration using least-privilege principles across constrained security groups, role-based permissions, and intersection security — supporting SOX and SOC 2 audit requirements with zero findings across all access certification reviews.
Led semi-annual Workday release preparation — reviewing What's New documentation, evaluating feature applicability, coordinating sandbox testing across HR functional owners, documenting business process impacts, and delivering pre-production stakeholder communications on schedule every cycle.
Diagnosed and resolved complex Workday production issues across HCM, Payroll, and integration layers — reproducing defects in sandbox, tracing root causes to business process or mapping configuration, and implementing durable fixes rather than symptomatic patches.
Executed Workday tenant configuration covering org hierarchies, job profile architecture, pay group structures, holiday calendars, and work schedules — validating every item against structured test scripts before production promotion.
Delivered Workday Payroll and Payroll Tax configuration support — pay calculation rules, tax withholding, payroll calendars, off-cycle processing, and garnishment setups — validated through parallel run comparisons with payroll operations.
Supported PECI and Cloud Connect payroll integrations end-to-end — reviewing integration logs, coordinating vendor data-format resolutions, and implementing configuration fixes to maintain clean, on-time payroll file delivery every cycle.
Maintained comprehensive Workday configuration documentation including BP specs, integration design documents, security role matrices, and testing runbooks — reducing onboarding time for new team members and providing Workday Support with genuine context for issue resolution.
Workday Developer CenterPoint Energy Nov 2021 – Mar 2022 • Houston, TX
Configured and maintained Workday HCM business processes across Core HCM, Compensation, Absence, and Recruiting — implementing approval routing changes, condition rule updates, validation logic, and notification workflows driven by HR policy changes and business user feedback.
Built Workday EIB outbound integrations for daily and weekly data feeds to benefits administration, finance, and headcount reporting systems — designing file layouts, transformation logic, and error handling reliable enough for unattended production execution.
Developed Workday custom reports for HR operations and compliance, including headcount/movement reports, compensation band analysis, ACA measurement reports, and absence utilization summaries — applying row-level security to enforce data access boundaries.
Streamlined Workday Recruiting business processes — job requisition approval workflows, offer letter templates, pre-hire task assignments, and background check integrations — reducing average time-to-offer by eliminating redundant approval steps.
Configured Workday Absence module including accrual plan design, LOA business processes, carryover rules, and balance calculations correctly handling FMLA, state leave laws, and company policy across multiple employment types.
Managed Workday Time Tracking configuration — time entry templates, time calculation rules, overtime policies, and schedule assignment logic — in close partnership with operations teams to ensure payroll-ready, audit-quality time data.
Resolved Workday integration failures across Cloud Connect benefit integrations and EIB outbound files — reviewing logs, identifying functional root causes such as eligibility mismatches or configuration gaps, and coordinating fixes with benefit carriers.
Executed Workday EIB inbound data loads for mass organizational changes and compensation adjustments — building Excel validation templates that pre-checked data against Workday business rules, maintaining clean audit-ready load records.
Provided Oracle EBS HRMS R12.2 development support for legacy integrations feeding Workday — writing PL/SQL extract programs and building data mapping documentation bridging both platforms during the transition period.
Workday HCM Developer Humana Inc. Dec 2018 – Nov 2021 • Louisville, KY
Served as primary Workday HRIS developer in a HIPAA-regulated healthcare environment supporting 40,000+ employees — configuring and maintaining business processes, integrations, reports, and security across Core HCM, Compensation, Benefits, Talent, Recruiting, Absence, Time Tracking, and Journeys.
Built and maintained Workday Studio integrations connecting Workday to ADP payroll, multiple benefit carriers, and a third-party timekeeping system — designing full integration architecture including field mapping, XSLT transformations, error notification logic, and daily audit reporting consumed by HRIS operations.
Configured Workday Compensation for annual merit, bonus, and equity cycles across a complex multi-band, multi-business-unit structure — designing eligibility rules, budget pool hierarchies, worksheet layouts, approval routing, and manager self-service experiences at scale.
Developed Workday composite reports and dashboards supporting HR leadership, Finance, and Clinical Operations with analytics covering headcount trends, attrition by BU, compensation equity, benefits enrollment rates, and talent pipeline metrics.
Managed Workday Benefits module across medical, dental, vision, FSA, HSA, life, and voluntary plans — configuring benefit plan rules, eligibility criteria, open enrollment events, and qualifying life event business processes for a large, diverse workforce.
Built Workday Recruiting and Onboarding configurations including job requisition templates, offer letter generation, pre-hire task sequences, and background check/I-9 integrations — improving new-hire experience and reducing average onboarding task completion time.
Configured Workday Talent Management including performance review templates, goal management, succession plan configuration, and calibration session setup — enabling HR partners to run structured talent cycles independently.
Provided Oracle Compensation Workbench (CWB) techno-functional consulting during platform migration — configuring CWB plan design, budget worksheets, and eligibility profiles in parallel with Workday Compensation configuration, ensuring zero-disruption transition.
Supported Workday Payroll configuration — pay group setup, payroll element design, tax withholding, and parallel run validation — coordinating with payroll operations to verify output accuracy before each live cycle.
Maintained Workday security role framework with quarterly access reviews, org-restructure-driven role changes, and audit evidence packages delivered to the information security team on schedule.
Workday HRIS Analyst Energy Transfer LP Sep 2017 – Nov 2018 • Houston, TX
Supported Workday HCM post-go-live operations — configuring Core HCM business processes, maintaining position management structures, updating org hierarchies, and processing worker data corrections via EIB inbound loads.
Built Workday custom reports for HR and payroll covering headcount, new hire activity, termination analysis, and position vacancy — developing a consistent report design standard that non-technical HR users found intuitive.
Configured Workday Absence plans and LOA business processes aligned to company policy and state leave requirements — translating written policy into Workday configuration logic and validating accrual calculations through structured test scenarios.
Developed .NET integration services and SSIS data pipelines to transform Oracle EBS HRMS legacy data into Workday-compatible formats — writing validation and reconciliation logic ensuring data accuracy and completeness on arrival in Workday.
Built Oracle EBS HRMS R12.2 PL/SQL extract programs for Workday data migration — developing data profiling queries that identified and remediated source data quality issues before migration, reducing clean-up work in Workday.
Participated in Workday release testing by executing regression test scripts, documenting results, and escalating defects with clear reproduction steps — building systematic understanding of Workday system behavior foundational to later advanced configuration work.
Maintained technical documentation for all Workday configurations and integration touchpoints — establishing a personal practice of capturing configuration decisions and business rationale that proved invaluable during audits and team onboarding.
