What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead or deliver performance testing for critical enterprise platforms, shaping NFRs, workload models, release gates and remediation validation across application, middleware and database layers.

At Scotiabank, I design and execute load, stress, endurance and volume tests for critical brokerage journeys, using LoadRunner, JMeter and k6 to validate capacity, scalability and release readiness.

I've led performance testing for a core-banking migration spanning about 100 applications and 2,000 services, isolating Java, middleware and database bottlenecks and delivering Go/No-Go recommendations backed by production-based workload models.
