About me
HRIS Manager at SC Johnson · Wisconsin, USA
I lead HR reporting and automation, turning HR data into reports and building the tools that take repetitive work off people's plates. Outside the office I write open-source software, including Obsidian plugins with more than 1,700 stars on GitHub.
What I do
HR reporting
Reporting domain lead for the HR department: turning Workday data into Power BI and Excel reports, and building visualizations that support decisions.
HR automation
Automating HR processes and data flows across Workday and ServiceNow with Automation Anywhere, VBA and Python, so recurring work runs without manual steps.
Software development
Web applications in Django and React, and open-source plugins in TypeScript. This site is my own Django, PostgreSQL and Celery stack running on Docker.

Background
I come to technology from the social sciences. Originally from Izmir, Turkey, I studied in Bursa and Ankara before moving to Warsaw, where I worked as an HRIS Manager and which still feels like home. Today I live in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and work at SC Johnson in Racine.
