# Naveen Kumar R. > Senior Software Development Engineer at Workday Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/naveen For the past decade, I’ve built and led initiatives that power modern web applications and modular UI systems. My focus has been creating fast, intuitive, and high-impact user experiences. At Workday, I’ve led the long-term overhaul of our core navigation experience, driving alignment across Product, UX, and Engineering to make it faster, more accessible, and easier to use. That effort transformed how nearly 65 million users navigate the platform every month and deepened my appreciation for simplicity at scale—reinforcing how thoughtful design and collaboration can unlock impact across an organization. Guided by that mindset, I thrive in technically demanding and often ambiguous environments. I bring clarity and momentum to complex problems. My expertise includes front-end architecture, design systems, and scalable UI platforms that simplify complexity at scale. I’m also exploring how AI-driven systems can enhance developer workflows and reimagine user interaction patterns. That same curiosity fuels my interests outside of work—learning about food, cuisine, and sustainable living. I’m always happy to connect with others building intuitive, scalable, and human-centered products.

Recent projects include a multi-phase redesign of Workday’s navigation experience—introducing a persistent sidebar, unifying web and mobile behavior, and simplifying how users move through complex workflows. I also helped modernize our internal UI libraries, streamline release processes, and drive stronger alignment between engineering, UX, and product. Alongside the technical work, I mentor engineers, contribute to cross-team architecture decisions, and represent our team in company-wide engineering forums. ### Software Development Engineer III @ Workday Jan 2021 – Jan 2024 At Workday, I led engineering efforts to modernize how users navigate the platform — rethinking the experience from architecture to execution. I partnered with Product and UX to make navigation faster, more accessible, and easier to use, improving usability for millions of users worldwide. Alongside that work, I focused on enhancing the core UI developer experience: modernizing foundational UI libraries, improving tooling for faster release cycles, and championing observability by moving metrics dashboards onto an internal data platform. ### Senior Software Engineer @ Cerner Corporation Jan 2019 – Jan 2021 | Kansas City, Missouri, United States I engineered core features for Cerner’s Video Visits platform, enabling secure, first-class Telehealth experiences across multiple video vendors such as American Well and AWS Chime. My work included building critical capabilities like chat, participant management, and audio/video muting, helping clinicians and patients communicate seamlessly during remote consultations. In parallel, I developed modular, reusable React components for clinician-facing applications and contributed to Terra, Cerner’s open-source framework for scalable and accessible web applications. I also led the theming of ~25 UI components to ensure consistency with legacy systems as part of a major modernization effort. Tech stack: React, Redux, Node.js, Ruby on Rails, Webpack, Jasmine, Mocha, Chai, Less. ### Associate Senior Software Engineer @ Cerner Corporation Jan 2017 – Jan 2019 | Kansas City, Missouri Area I led the integration of CKEditor, a rich text editor, into the Dynamic Documentation module within PowerChart Touch, Cerner’s mobile EHR application. To support cross-platform consistency, I designed and implemented JavaScript interfaces that cleanly separated the data and business layers—making our front-end codebase reusable across both mobile and legacy desktop environments. I also contributed to the development of an internal Dynamic Worklist framework, used by clinicians to identify and manage subsets of patients within PowerChart. I implemented drag-and-drop functionality using react-beautiful-dnd, improving interactivity and usability across applications. Languages: Ruby, JavaScript (ES5/6), Less. Frameworks/Libraries: React.js, Redux, Node.js, Webpack, jQuery, Ruby on Rails, Jasmine, Mocha, Karma, Chai. ### Software Engineer @ Cerner Corporation Jan 2016 – Jan 2017 | Kansas City, Missouri Area I built and integrated a feature module for the Camera Capture application on both Android and iOS, enabling clinicians to capture medical images with complete metadata preservation before securely uploading them to Cerner’s media cloud service. This improved the accuracy and traceability of clinical documentation. I also developed a web component for PowerChart Touch that allowed physicians to create, update, and manage custom filters for patient records—enhancing flexibility and efficiency in day-to-day workflows. Additionally, I designed and implemented a full-stack release plan management tool in Java using Hibernate and Spring, streamlining how program managers generated and uploaded project plans to internal wikis as part of Cerner’s training program. Technologies: Ruby on Rails, Objective C, Java, Javascript, HAML, LESS. ### Software Engineer Intern @ Hospira Jan 2015 – Jan 2015 Continuous Integration and Automation of Plum A+ Infusion Devices - Developed a continuously running automation integration tool using Ruby, Watir, Python, Windows Batch Scripting, JavaScript and HTML to interact with Perforce and Jenkins. The system shall distribute the automation tasks across three workstations over FTP to later communicate with 12 different Plum A+ infusion devices and generate performance reports of execution of over 2000 scripts on an interactive dashboard for the team to understand, analyze and fix the problems if any. ### Software Engineer @ Hospira Jan 2013 – Jan 2014 I contributed to the development of Hospira MedNet 6.0, the safety software hospitals use to define medication dose limits and monitor intravenous drug deliveries—helping prevent dosing errors and improve patient safety. I implemented and verified core features such as auto-programming reports, message queue analysis, and communication logging between infusion devices and the MedNet system. My work ensured accurate data exchange and reliable tracking of medication therapies across connected systems. I also engineered an automation tool that streamlined software build installation and enabled uninterrupted execution of test protocols, reducing manual QA effort and accelerating validation cycles. Through this project, I gained deep experience working within an Agile development environment and with technologies such as Ruby, SQL Server, Perforce, Code Collaborator, JIRA, Jenkins, and DOORS. ## Education ### Master of Science (M.S.) in Computer Science University at Buffalo Jan 2014 – Jan 2015 ### Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech.) in Information Technology Anna University Chennai Jan 2009 – Jan 2013 ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/nramamur --- Source: https://flows.cv/naveen JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/naveen/resume.json Last updated: 2026-03-22
