OTBIC: Workday Integration Expertise, Direct From the Person Doing the Work

What I Do

Comprehensive Workday Services

Every service is built entirely around Workday: no split focus, no generalist overhead.

Workday Extend

Built and deployed Extend apps handling real production workloads, including a contingent-worker onboarding app at Carvana automating 30+ onboardings a month.

Orchestrations

Event-driven, multi-step automations. At Carvana: 5 Orchestrations automating HR/IT events across Workday, ServiceNow, and payroll, durable and auditable.

Implementation

End-to-end HCM and Financial configuration, integration, and UAT. 16+ full-cycle implementations across six industries, with training and documentation.

Integrations

Studio, Core Connectors, EIBs, RaaS, PECI/PICOF, Cloud Connect. Delivered for populations up to 80,000+ workers with Listener Service and MQS.

Workday Studio

Production XSLT 3.0 streaming transforms for a 30,000+ employee payroll extract at Manulife, a scale where conventional processing wasn't viable. DART-clean, every time.

Custom Reports

Composite, Matrix, BIRT, and calculated fields, built for the decisions your leaders actually need to make.

Post Production Support

Go-live is the start, not the finish. Environments stay current, performant, and aligned as your business evolves.

Backfill Support

When your team is stretched, I integrate directly into your project: senior-level, no ramp-up curve, no junior bench.

Advanced Capabilities

Rare Depth Most Workday Practices Don't Have

Three capabilities that separate this practice from generalist Workday consulting: all delivered in production, not theoretical.

MEM: O(1) vs O(n)

XSLT 3.0 Streaming

Traditional XSLT builds the entire source document in memory before producing output, a real constraint at 30,000+ employee scale. Native streaming keeps memory flat regardless of file size. Built for Manulife, delivered DART-clean.

DELIVERY: exactly-once

Workday Message Queue Service

Guaranteed, exactly-once async delivery, even through downstream outages. Deployed for Nike, 3M, and Apple engagements (80,000+ workers), replacing latency-adding scheduled polling.

MODE: event-driven

Studio Listener Service

Event-driven inbound processing instead of scheduled batch jobs: near real-time data exchange with the systems Workday needs to talk to.

Why OTBIC

A Real Engineering Foundation

13 years of full-stack software engineering (C#, .NET, JavaScript) before specializing in Workday: the reason the advanced-capability work is possible at all.
