Modernizing Payroll Infrastructure

Paychex INC • Senior Software and Product Consultant • 2021—Present

The Challenge

"The existing import workflows lack the scalability and agility required for modern workforce management. Routine data updates are prone to bottlenecks, and the absence of a validation dashboard necessitates manual intervention."

As the Product Owner, I bridged the gap between stakeholders, Program Managers, and Payroll Specialists who required a modern UI, and an engineering team managing significant technical debt.

The Solution

Our strategic objective was to replace the legacy batch-processing model with a Real-Time Data Validation and Staging Layer. We focused on instant error reporting and enhanced search capabilities using a modern tech stack.
