View full résumé

I started my career as a delivery leader in digital payments at Canada’s leading bank, RBC, where I honed my skills in managing large teams, big project budgets, and complex architecture. I moved from small to large digital transformation projects that spanned multiple channels in banking technology.

From there, I was recruited to a Web3 gaming start-up to run a backlog for 15+ developers and the overall company roadmap, focusing on blockchain technology and NFT initiatives.

After the initial year, the company’s underlying mission was to create a digital trading card game, which I had the pleasure of producing from its initial Alpha stage to its full release, over the span of four years. I led a team of 25+ in migrating external game code into an all in-house game studio.

Through this, I facilitated the delivery of the rewrite of back-end code, an overhaul of the front-end UI and UX, and the successful global launch of the game on Steam, Epic, iOS, and Android.

How I work

I believe in creating an open and collaborative work environment, where communication and trust are the backbone of a productive team.

Most times, you’ll find me working hands-on with engineers and designers to get to where we want to go.

I am comfortable navigating ambiguity and flexible to change.

There is no task beneath me. I believe in rolling up my sleeves to get things done.
