I've spent 10+ years building the systems that connect enterprise platforms to each other and to the people who depend on them. Most of that work lives in Workday, but the principles carry: understand the data, respect the downstream consumers, automate what shouldn't be manual.

• 10+ years orchestrating enterprise software and SaaS solutions
• 7+ years deep in Workday Integrations Development
• Internal tools and automations built with production-grade architecture
• Hands-on code and hands-on leadership, same person

I design, build, and maintain Workday integrations from initial architecture through production support. Studio, EIBs, Core Connectors, calculated fields. If it touches Workday data, I've probably built the pipe.

Building AI-powered development accelerators that turn specs into working code. The goal is eliminating the repetitive 80% so developers can focus on the interesting 20%.

I help teams adopt new tools, clean up technical debt, and migrate between systems without losing their minds. The work is usually less glamorous than it sounds: data mapping, stakeholder alignment, honest timelines.

I coach developers and consultants into stronger technical contributors. That means code reviews, architecture walkthroughs, and the unglamorous work of helping people think through problems before they start typing.

Self-hosted stack at home: Proxmox, RAID arrays, Linux LXCs, enterprise networking, surveillance, media servers. It's where I test ideas without guardrails and learn by breaking things on purpose.
