Enterprise IT leadership.
Practical AI engineering.
I bring experience across financial-services operations, major incident management, technology support, and automation, alongside hands-on work building AI tooling and infrastructure.
Previously at TMX Group, BMO, and BlackBerry. Now seeking senior manager or director opportunities where enterprise leadership and practical technical judgment are both valued.
Areas of focus
Where enterprise experience meets emerging technology
Enterprise IT Operations
Led a unified L1 Monitoring and Major Incident Management team at TMX Group, with leadership through three team leads.
Technology Service Delivery
Production technology support for Corporate, Finance, and Financial Crimes Unit systems at BMO Financial Group, with earlier incident facilitation and Linux team leadership.
Practical AI Engineering
Independent work building AI tooling and infrastructure, alongside n8n automation design, deployment, monitoring, and recovery.
How I work
Operations discipline, applied to AI and automation.
The work I care about sits between engineering and operations: deciding what should be automated, building it so it can be operated, and making sure someone can tell what happened when it fails.
That perspective comes from years of production support and incident management in financial services — where changes are reviewed, failures have consequences, and documentation matters after the person who built something has moved on.
- Clear ownership and explicit scope before build
- Change control and evidence of what actually ran
- Monitoring, retry behaviour, and recovery designed in
- Documentation that outlives the original author
Engineering Projects
What I build independently
Projects documented at the stage they are actually at — implemented, tested, or still collecting evidence. No results claimed before there are results.
Nexus Code
A local coding client and harness: a TypeScript agent, Rust workspace tools, and a terminal interface. Built to make agent actions reviewable, with approval modes, workspace trust, and documented limits.
Homelab AI
Ansible configuration for a small self-hosted AI inference lab: two Intel Arc GPU workers on one host behind an authenticated gateway, with Vault-managed secrets, validation evidence, and rollback paths.
AI Syndicate
An independent venture focused on runtime authorization and evidence for AI agent actions — deciding whether an action should run, and recording why.
Visit AI SyndicateNebula Components lead workflow
Lead capture and follow-up instrumented with n8n, Google Sheets, SendGrid, and Slack. The measurement plan was published before results; no performance results are claimed yet.

Downloadable starting points for common automation tasks, with configuration notes for adapting them to your own systems.

Where the discipline gets applied
AI Execution Governance
Authorizing individual AI actions before they run, not just logging them after.
Read moreAgentic AI Governance
Tool access, delegated authority, and containment for autonomous agents.
Read moreAI Incident Management
Containment, evidence preservation, and post-incident review for AI systems.
Read moreFinancial Services AI Governance
Evidence, segregation of duties, and change control under audit expectations.
Read moreAutomation Governance
Ownership, credentials, and change control for production automation.

Read moreConsulting · secondary
A limited amount of advisory work alongside the search.
My primary focus is a senior manager or director role in IT operations, technology service delivery, platform operations, or AI enablement. Consulting is a secondary path — AI implementation, n8n automation architecture, and operations advisory work where enterprise judgment matters.
