Updated

Tom Moroney is a software engineer from Dublin, Ireland, currently working full-time at Workday. His work centers on backend security and developer tooling for enterprise systems, with a focus on sensitive-data redaction, controlled access workflows, and AI-assisted documentation. Outside of his day job, he builds creator-focused video tools, most notably AutoSubs, an open-source, cross-platform desktop app for automatic subtitle generation.

Professional Background

Moroney's professional experience spans enterprise software engineering, with a consistent thread of security, tooling, and reliability work.

Workday (2025 – Present)

As a Software Engineer at Workday, his work includes:

  • Sensitive-data redaction framework — Architected a high-performance .NET and Java/Log4j framework that removes sensitive customer data from logs and obfuscates exception stack traces across 10 microservices with minimal performance impact.
  • Compliance coordination — Coordinated rollout and testing with service owners, contributing to Adaptive Planning's FedRAMP audit preparation for federal approval.
  • Secure lookup API — Built a Java lookup API integrated with a .NET lookup tool UI, letting support teams map internal IDs to sensitive data and run reverse lookups through controlled access paths.
  • AI-assisted documentation — Developed an AI-powered living documentation and Q&A system that summarises code from AST leaf nodes upward, keeping docs synchronised and answering developer queries.

Workday Internship (2024)

  • Engineered 4 Java/Spring Boot APIs for database bootstrapping and multi-tenant initialisation, supporting Adaptive Planning's migration to Workday's unified cloud platform.
  • Implemented transactional rollback, SQL fixes for import defects, and a database-simulating test framework achieving 92% line coverage.

ChannelSight Internship (2023)

  • Developed web crawlers for ecommerce product and review data, analysing DOM structures and network traffic to create resilient selectors and extraction logic.
  • Implemented proxy rotation, custom request headers, and rate limiting to reduce scraper failures from layout changes and bot-detection mechanisms.

Trinity College Dublin (2022 – 2023)

Elected as class representative for around 60 Integrated Computer Science students, acting as a liaison between students and faculty.

Education

Moroney studied at Trinity College Dublin, where he was enrolled in the Integrated Computer Science programme.
