Behind the Roadmap: Kicking Off Our Dayforce Spotlight Series with Frank Ruffolo
We’re excited to introduce a brand-new series for our developer community: Behind the Roadmap – Dayforce Spotlight Sessions. These sessions are all about delivering practical tips, fresh insights, and behind-the-scenes knowledge to help you make the most of the Dayforce platform.
Episode One: Meet Frank Ruffolo
In our first spotlight, host Brad Wyland sat down with Frank Ruffolo, Principal Product Manager on the Platform Solutions team. With years of experience, a passion for the developer ecosystem, and more than a few fun personal stories, Frank kicks things off in style.
From retro gaming and favorite snacks to climbing the CN Tower in record time, Frank gives us a peek into the personality behind the product. But more importantly, he shares valuable insights into navigating the Dayforce Developer Network (DDN) — our central hub with over 300 pages of API documentation, tools, and resources designed to support developers like you.
What You’ll Learn in This Spotlight
-
How to get started with the DDN in just 30 seconds (free sign-up, separate from partner logins).
-
Why tools like Postman are perfect for working with Dayforce APIs.
-
Where to find the latest updates — including new APIs released with every Dayforce update.
-
How to engage with the dev community through dedicated forums and groups, where you can ask questions, share input, and collaborate with peers.

Frank’s perspective on optimism as a core Dayforce value — and how that mindset shapes the work we’re doing for the future of our platform and partners.
Why It Matters
This series isn’t just about updates — it’s about connection. Every episode will live on the Dayforce Developer Community, along with supporting content and forum threads so you can dive deeper, ask follow-ups, and share your own best practices.
