Secure systems. Real workflows. Production ownership.

From the shop floor
to production systems.

Customer service taught me to find the real need. Engineering gave me the tools to build the answer.

Professional experience

Mar 2023 - PresentCurrent role

Canadian Bank Note Company

Software Developer

Currently help onboard national-government identity programs by interpreting jurisdiction requirements, configuring the shared platform, developing requirement-specific features, testing complete workflows, resolving gaps, and supporting release and production behaviour.

Current Software Developer role; project lead for St. Lucia implementation and co-lead for St. Kitts eVisa/passport delivery within larger teams.

Mar 2022 - Mar 2023

Canadian Bank Note Company

Automation Tester

Built test tooling for secure passport workflows so the team could create valid test records consistently and focus regression effort on the document paths carrying the most release risk.

Designed a Python XML data generator around the structure and validation rules required by the test environment.

Developed Java, Selenium, and JUnit automation, then connected repeatable suites to continuous integration.

Used API-first checks, flaky-test diagnosis, and risk-based test selection to make failures easier to investigate before release.

2016

Before software, there were real shelves and real customers.

I moved from retail associate to weekend warehouse supervisor at Canadian Tire. It taught me to diagnose needs, prioritize a live queue, coach people, and respect the gap between a system record and the physical world.
