About
AI-First Engineering
Building AI-powered automation that eliminates bottlenecks and saves thousands of hours. From OCR invoice processing to intelligent document pipelines, I engineer systems that transform manual workflows into scalable, self-running operations.
Forward Deployed Mindset
Embedding into teams to understand pain points firsthand, then solving across organizational boundaries. I bridge the gap between business needs and technical execution, whether at Stokes Seeds or the Ontario government.
Production Impact
Shipping to production, not just prototypes. Real metrics, real systems — 87% faster invoice processing, 94% error reduction across 30+ ERP extensions, and CI/CD pipelines deployed to government infrastructure.
