I design cloud, payment, and integration solutions for enterprise modernization programs.

I've designed cloud, payment, and integration solutions for Canadian Tire Financial Services, including an API-first Interac payment feature integrated with TSYS and a PCI-DSS-aligned card payment processing architecture.

At Ingram Micro, I connected global providers and distributors through Azure-hosted ERP and delivered integration POCs using Logic Apps, Event Grid, AKS, API Management, and Functions. I also migrated legacy services to Cloud Blue SaaS in a containerized Docker environment.

During 10 years at Oracle, I led cloud migrations, modernized more than 100 integrations, managed a 15-person team, and delivered architecture for organizations including Calgary Board of Education, Sheridan College, and Citibank.
