HRIS & Workforce Analytics

Turning HR data into
infrastructure that works

I design and optimize the systems behind workforce decisions — from payroll pipelines and compliance workflows to executive dashboards that make data actually useful.

A bit more

I'm a tech-savvy HRIS professional with 5+ years of experience in payroll operations, system configuration, and workforce analytics. My work sits at the intersection of HR operations and data infrastructure — turning raw payroll and workforce data into reliable, scalable systems that support real decisions.

I've owned the full HRIS stack at organizations up to 700+ employees — from UKG Pro and WFM configuration to multi-country payroll processing across the US, Canada, and China. I work closely with HR, Finance, IT, and Operations to make sure systems reflect how the business actually runs.

What drives me is the gap between what workforce data could tell you and what most organizations actually get from it. I close that gap — through automation, better reporting, and systems built to scale.
