Message

At Humber College, I led a $4M modernization of 29 classrooms and AV systems at the Guelph-Humber campus, coordinating technical teams, facilities, contractors, schedules, and handoff while minimizing academic disruption.

I also led vendor selection and phased deployment of a 1,400-access-point network and Wi-Fi upgrade across four campuses. At Humber, I coordinated SIS, HCM, cloud, cybersecurity, and CRM integration initiatives, and led an enterprise migration from Jira to Azure DevOps.

At Tumii Transformations, I lead client digital transformation and system modernization engagements. I coordinate Microsoft Dynamics CRM configuration, data migration, and integration, and support user adoption, training, and go-live.
