## What I'm looking for

```text
I'm interested in building ambitious products in fintech, fraud, or platform product.
```

## About

```text
At Scotiabank, I work on fraud detection and disputes, delivering AI-driven behavioural biometrics initiatives that contributed to a 12% year-over-year fraud reduction. I also implemented authenticator enhancements on high-risk customer journeys and developed anti-scam countermeasures that reduced the bank’s scam losses by over 2 MM.

Before Scotiabank, I shaped platform, API, and Embedded BI product strategy at Fiix by Rockwell Automation. My work drove a 42% increase in API consumption, unlocked $6.7M in enterprise expansion opportunities, and shipped more than 13 major platform features.

Earlier at Fiix, I supported enterprise integrations and created complex custom reports using SQL and JasperReports. The integrations I worked on maintained a failure rate below 2% over a 2½-year period.

I bring technical fluency to product strategy across fraud prevention, SaaS platforms, and integrations. I’m a Certified Scrum Product Owner and Scrum Master, and I use MixPanel, SQL, and PowerBI for data analytics.
