Maya Halberg.

I configure Winslow around your company, write the agentic workflows your team needs in the first six months, and stay close — through QBRs, comp cycles, audits, and whatever else lands on your desk. Five years as a People Ops Engineer. Four FDE engagements at Winslow.

What I'm doing this quarter

Embedded with three customers. Shipping something every week.

Forward engineers run 2–3 active engagements at a time. The cadence is high — a customer might see two new skills and a comp-cycle revision every fortnight.

Now · with Northbird

Q2 comp review automation

Writing the skill that pulls last cycle's ratings, computes proposals against bands, routes for calibration. Ships next Friday.

M&A onboarding playbook

Engagements I've led

Companies I've embedded with so far.

Four full engagements. Each one started with a platform configuration, moved into agentic workflows, ended with the customer's People team writing their own skills.

Replatformed off Rippling without a migration project.

Configured Winslow against their actual policies (not templates). Wrote 11 skill files covering onboarding, comp review, multi-state new-hire workflows, and payroll anomaly review.

Cobalt & Co · retail 410 EE · 2023
