Execution, not technology, is where transformation succeeds or fails.
How I Apply AI In Practice
Business problem first, technology second. Two systems this year: one for a major Alberta lender, one my own.
SIGNAL: AI-Assisted Credit Monitoring
A proof-of-concept decision-support system for commercial credit monitoring. SIGNAL turns document intake into rated, evidence-backed early warnings, with every credit decision left to a qualified human.
Reviewing one borrower's quarterly financials by hand takes an analyst 7 to 8 hours. The team modelled SIGNAL at under 3 hours, with review capacity up 50% to 60%.
I led delivery across a four-person team and helped set the boundaries the system works within: no credit approvals, no risk ratings, no live banking data.
Agentic AI Job-Search System
An autonomous agent that has run my own job search every morning since May 2026. It reads overnight job alerts, scores each posting against a structured career profile, and drafts tailored, application-ready documents for the strongest matches, producing roughly 30 high-quality application packages a month.
Nothing goes out without my approval, and the agent was built to stay inside each job board's terms of service even where that cost it capability. That pattern, autonomous intake with structured scoring and a human approving the output, is what makes AI agents defensible inside an enterprise.
Where I Fit
I am most effective where AI initiatives stall: when technical capability, business execution, and governance are pulling in different directions and someone has to align them.
Applied AI
Getting AI out of pilots and into daily use, with adoption that survives contact with the business.
Roles like: Applied AI Lead, AI Adoption Lead, Enterprise AI Analyst
Digital Transformation
Scaling what works across complex enterprise environments, without disrupting the business already running on them.
Roles like: Digital Transformation Lead, AI Program Manager, AI Change Management Lead
AI Governance & Strategy
Keeping deployed AI defensible: oversight, model drift, audit readiness, and regulation that keeps moving.
Roles like: AI Governance Analyst, Responsible AI Analyst, AI Compliance Analyst, AI Risk Analyst
What I've Achieved
More than fifteen years across enterprise IT and digital transformation, much of it inside Alberta's regulated energy and rail sectors. The constraints on change there are the same ones that now govern where AI can and cannot be deployed.
Digital Transformation
Led website redevelopment achieving 300% traffic growth and top search rankings.
Helped build albertaancestors.ca, architecting a 250,000+ record genealogy platform with governance and data quality frameworks.
Enterprise Impact
Supported multi-million dollar enterprise BI deployments in collaboration with SAP's Value Engineering division, while acting as primary liaison between technical teams and business stakeholders at Canadian Pacific Railway.
Regulated Industry Delivery
Alberta's energy and transportation sectors, including TransAlta's wholesale electricity billing system, where regulators, safety requirements and continuity obligations constrained every change.
