About Ristretto Labs
A ristretto is the first, strongest part of an espresso shot: less water, more flavour. Small and strong is how we want our apps to feel.
Ristretto Labs is a small studio in British Columbia building apps that run inside Workday. We focus on work that Workday customers in Canada still do outside Workday: provincial compliance, academic labour rules, and the tools Workday teams need to build and run their own apps safely.
Founder
Crispin Mwanyumba has more than eight years of Workday experience and works on Workday at the University of British Columbia. That's where our focus on higher education comes from: sessional appointments, research funding and public-sector reporting are problems he knows first-hand.
He builds Workday Extend apps: pages, business processes, orchestrations and security, with automated deployment and testing. His work includes apps that manage organizations, security roles and approvals, and tools that help developers query Workday data and move apps between tenants.
Ristretto Labs is independent of the University of British Columbia.
How we work
- We start from a real problem a customer has today, not a feature list.
- We build in small, fixed-scope steps and show working software early.
- We support what we ship, and we keep it current with Workday's releases.
