SHEET A-01 / OVERVIEW
Taylor Treece
Director of Applications & Integrations — William Carey University
I plan and build the systems that hold an organization together: the integrations between vendors, the platforms internal teams rely on, and the automation that takes manual work off someone's plate. Most recently that's meant moving a university's student information system to the cloud without anyone downstream noticing the seams.
SHEET A-02 / GENERAL NOTES
About
- Three years in, then through, higher ed technology — currently leading a four-person development team at William Carey University, and before that building the internal tools and integrations that team now maintains.
- Before higher ed, spent a year in pre-sales and solutions consulting at Waterfield Technologies, designing and demoing cloud contact center environments on Twilio Flex. That work still shapes how I scope a project: discovery first, architecture second, build third.
- Comfortable moving between the whiteboard and the codebase — C#, ASP.NET, Python, and SQL Server on the build side; vendor roadmaps, board updates, and implementation plans on the other.
- Currently finishing an MBA at William Carey University, mostly to get better at the parts of the job that happen in meetings rather than in an IDE.

SHEET A-03 / REVISION LOG
Experience
- Leading the migration from an on-prem to a cloud-based Student Information System, and directing 8 new third-party vendor integrations alongside it.
- Lead and mentor a four-person team (Senior Programmer, Junior Programmer, two Programmer Analysts) and report system status and risk directly to executive leadership and the board.
- Cleaned up 3 legacy platforms and set the team's standards for source control, CI/CD, and documentation going forward.
- Built a centralized internal tools platform on Blazor, ASP.NET APIs, and IIS that departments across campus now use instead of one-off spreadsheets and scripts.
- Ran technical discovery and solution design for new vendor implementations — data models, integration patterns, system boundaries.
- Built RESTful APIs on ASP.NET 7 to connect academic and administrative systems that hadn't talked to each other before.
- Applied machine learning and generative AI to automate transcript translation, cutting processing effort by about 98%.
- Designed and demoed 12 custom CCaaS environments on Twilio Flex, React, and Node.js; more than 80% turned into follow-on phases.
- Stepped into a failing client engagement, ran a fast discovery and redesign, and kept the contract alive for two more phases.
- Built deployment tooling that cut setup time by about 8 hours per environment.
