## About

```text
At Scotiabank, I lead delivery of the Problem Loan Management application, replacing legacy credit-loss and default processes with standardized data and automated workflows. I coordinate migration and data feeds into the reporting data warehouse and data mart.

At Shared Services Canada, Government of Canada, I led enterprise IT security and cloud security projects aligned with federal governance frameworks. At IRCC, I planned from scratch and managed a $60M+ data and cloud modernization program under Treasury Board governance.

At Carbon60, I managed AWS migration of 500+ workloads, sites, and applications, reducing infrastructure costs by 30%. I also led the migration of 200 employees from Workday to BambooHR, including data migration, integrations, cutover, and user adoption support.

At Sun Life Financial / Bentall Kennedy, I planned and managed the $121M One York head office migration, relocating 1,500+ employees with zero business interruption. Across my work, I bring together project planning, data migration, hybrid Agile/Waterfall delivery, and organizational change management.
