Hi, I'm
Making magic happen with modern technologies and tools.

A few tricks from my act: real problems, practical fixes, and no smoke and mirrors.
TORLYS
Replaced an expensive, proprietary EDI solution costing up to $4,800 a year. I designed, built, and deployed the replacement end to end: n8n and Azure SFTP receive inbound EDI 210 freight invoices and feed them into Business Central, then send the outbound 997 acknowledgments automatically.
TORLYS
The sales team needed one unified dashboard for their day-to-day sales support work. I designed, built, and deployed it end to end: a Next.js intranet hub on Business Central APIs, rolled out to roughly 40 sales reps.
TORLYS
Modernized the core infrastructure: I refreshed the switches and routers, upgraded the edge firewalls to Palo Alto, and moved the internal virtualized infrastructure from VMware to Nutanix, saving thousands by moving off VMware licensing and support costs.
Everything here serves one goal: fewer clicks, less rework, and more time back for people.
Let the machines do the repetitive part.
Fewer steps, fewer surprises.
Custom tools where off-the-shelf falls short.
Stable, secure, and boring in the best way.
Growing people and pointing everyone the same way.
Tools I trust, and the guardrails that keep them honest.
Workflow automation
Connecting the systems teams already use through APIs and webhooks, so repetitive handoffs run on their own and people spend time on work that needs judgment.
Internal tools
Turning databases and APIs into purpose-built dashboards and admin tools fast, so teams get an interface that fits their process instead of a spreadsheet workaround.
Success acceleration
AI is a force multiplier, not an autopilot. I keep a human in the loop, verify outputs, protect sensitive data, and train teams so adoption sticks and the ROI is measurable.
Twenty-plus years in IT, from the help desk to owning the infrastructure.
IT Systems Supervisor
Lead in-house developer for Dynamics 365 Business Central customization, writing the company extension in AL for an estimated $200,000+ a year saved in consultant billing. Built custom pricing and claims modules and automated warehouse tasks, including Bill of Lading improvements. I lead and develop the IT team, set the technology direction and IT budget, and oversee vendors and projects.
System and Cybersecurity Administrator
Ran the full infrastructure: Microsoft 365 and hybrid Azure AD, Exchange Online, Cisco networking, VMware, SAN, Mitel VoIP, IPSec VPNs, and endpoint protection with CrowdStrike and Firepower. Co-developed the graduate internship mentoring program and mentored its first two students.
Bilingual Training & Innovations Specialist
Researched emerging technologies and blended them with digital marketing to solve common problems, while improving the company's security posture.
IT Co-Ordinator
Point of contact for user support and administration of the network, server, and endpoint infrastructure. Intermediary with the global infrastructure teams for deployments and migrations.
Senior Analyst
Tested and validated updates to the base Windows images across all company hardware under ITIL change and configuration management, improving security posture. Used relationships with Microsoft engineers to resolve complex issues faster.
Windows Infrastructure Analyst
Escalated support for Active Directory, including updates, backup integrity, and Group Policy changes under formal change management, with a growing cybersecurity focus.
1st and 2nd Tier Analyst
Progressed from Tier 1 to Tier 2 support, handled incident and problem management, and coached Tier 1 analysts.
I started on the help desk in 2005 and never lost my curiosity for how things work. That curiosity took me through Active Directory and security at RBC, IT coordination at Nestlé Purina, and system and cybersecurity administration at TORLYS, where I'm now IT Systems Supervisor, leading the IT team and owning the infrastructure.
Along the way I've picked up a few tricks: writing our Business Central extension in AL (an estimated $200,000+ a year in consultant hours saved), automating the manual stuff, and keeping the firewalls honest. I work with an operator's mindset, because software only counts once the frontline teams actually use it, so I train in both English and French, and mentor whenever I can.
