This project was implemented within Workday, leveraging integrations and scheduled workflows to automate the creation of test users in sandbox environments.
Goal: Create a repeatable, automated process for generating test data used by HR trainers after each sandbox refresh - ensuring consistency, accuracy, and reliability.
Team: HRIS and Training & Development
Role: Sr Systems Analyst overseeing system architecture, automation design, and documentation, applying systems-thinking to reduce manual dependency and improve team efficiency.

This project highlights my ability to design operational systems that connection automation, communication, and trust. It reflects how I build infrastructure that scales, reduces manual effort, and improves visibility across teams—core capabilities in Digital Business Management.

After every system refresh, HR trainers spent hours manually recreating demo employees for training sessions. The process was inconsistent, error-prone, and dependent on institutional knowledge. Trainers had no visibility into when test users would be available, leading to delays and frustration across teams.
I approached the issue as a systems design problem: connecting technical automation with user transparency.
Through discovery, it became clear that reliability mattered as much as functionality: trainers needed to trust the system, not just use it.
Configuring the Workday integration to automatically recreate demo employees after each sandbox refresh.
I designed an automated workflow that rebuilt a complete demo employee profile on a schedule (a team of demo employees)—without manual input.
