CanadaWhat I'm looking for
At Flinks, I own strategy, roadmaps, requirements, delivery, and quality for three customer-facing product lines spanning data intelligence, enterprise administration, and fraud and identity verification. I led a legacy-platform migration that delivered approximately $175.6K in annualized infrastructure savings with zero customer regression.
I bring 15+ years across product delivery, software development, and quality engineering. I translate financial-services needs into product decisions, lead cross-functional teams, and use technical depth in AI/ML products, APIs, cloud infrastructure, and reliability to improve customer outcomes.
