With 14 years in IT, I consider myself an experienced IT professional with a wide amount of breadth among various practices. From self-learning programming as a child, to Computer Science at the University of Waterloo, to my career with BlackBerry, IT has always been my passion.
In my different roles with BlackBerry, I've been involved in all fields of IT across the entire CIO organization, including networking, infrastructure, service management, development, administration, and security.
Specifically within my Service Engineering role, I am responsible for designing and maintaining large scale global lab and production environments under the Holistic Entitlement and License Management team, including software deployments, vulnerability remediation, capacity management, and service assurance. My previous experience in a business process role helps me to adapt to change, and enables me to produce high quality outputs.
I am a happy, patient, and approachable teammate with a customer service mindset. I try to help solve problems with an algorithmic mindset and outside the box ideas, and am used to working with people who have different opinions and ways of thinking.
My current career goal is to gain further depth into IT systems engineering practices, and infrastructure, application, and DevSecOps automation technologies, within roles that allow me to leverage my software development skills.
Portfolio
In my personal time, I try to keep up with the latest practices, ideologies, and technologies in the IT world. I try to apply these in projects such as via web and game development. I often pair these projects with other personal interests such as sports or gaming, while looking for fun or efficient ways to improve upon things I've done in the past.
Below are some of the projects that I'm currently working on or have completed in the past.
