I spent 24 years inside Kronos and UKG — the last decade of it architecting the data platforms UKG customers run on. I was product architect of Data Hub, which today serves 3,000+ customers, and as Director of Data Analytics I set the roadmap for PeopleFabric, UKG’s next-generation data platform. Before that, I spent eleven years in the field delivering 200+ workforce management implementations.
In 2025 I went independent, because the most interesting requests were always the ones the standard playbook couldn’t serve: punch data that needs to reach payroll systems continuously, KPIs no canned report produces, workflows that need a screen UKG doesn’t have, and a defensible answer to “where is our labor cost actually recoverable?” That’s the work WFM Labs takes on — real-time integrations, custom analytics and labor diagnostics, and AI-enabled extension apps that feel native to UKG.
My depth is UKG Pro WFM specifically — timekeeping, scheduling, forecasting, accruals, and the APIs underneath them. But almost nothing worth building stops at the WFM boundary. The build usually has to reach a POS, an ERP, a payroll clearinghouse, another scheduling system, or a screen that doesn’t exist in any product yet. Custom applications and integrations across that surrounding stack are as much this practice as the UKG work is.
I work hands-on: I architect the solution, write the production code, deploy it to your cloud, and hand it over documented. You talk directly to the person who helped build the platform your data lives on — no leverage pyramid, no handoffs. And independent doesn’t mean capped: when a build needs more hands, I bring in a dedicated bench of proven engineers working under my architecture and direction. I’ve led five feature squads and sixty engineers — delivery at scale is familiar ground.
