Experience
Workday Global Payroll Integration
Mule 4 Uplift
I was tasked to create designs to uplift the Mule 3 integrations to Mule 4. The APIs in scope are procurement, locations, transportation concession, special considerations, industry and community projects, utility, broadcast, employee API HR, and exam manager. Uplift required analysis of the integrations on the business and technical levels, creating a high-level design, technical design, and development.
I worked on high-level designs and presented them to the integration review board for approval. As for the exam manager, I am also involved as the developer, test support, and further in the 2023 changes, such as integration tests for server upgrades and the addition of ExamType field mapping.
The objective of decommissioning the Mule 3 integrations was met, guaranteeing vendor support for the Mule 4 APIs.
Data Pipeline for Worker and Organization APIs
The data pipeline consists of Workday, AWS S3, Talend, Mongo DB, and MuleSoft. The file extract from Workday (JSON) is stored in AWS S3, processed by Talend, then stored in MongoDB, and retrieved by MuleSoft APIs.
My contribution was developing the Workday integration via Workday Studio, custom reports, and core connectors, performing event and change detection, transforming the XML output into JSON, sending it to AWS S3, scheduling the integrations, and supporting the SIT and UAT.
