Professional experience

May 2026 - Present · Edmonton, AB

Applications and Technical Architect

DHL Supply Chain

  • Shape application and data architecture for warehouse and logistics technology, connecting operational requirements with Azure integrations, database design, security boundaries, and production supportability.
  • Managed a Microsoft Fabric capacity supporting shared analytics workloads, overseeing capacity operations and monitoring utilization and performance across shared demand.
  • Design and review integration patterns using Azure Data Factory, Azure SQL, private/hybrid connectivity, managed identities, and cloud services; emphasize least privilege, recoverability, and traceable data flow.
  • Advance engineering standards for metadata documentation, technical design review, CI/CD, and realistic test/UAT scenarios before production rollout.

Apr 2025 - May 2026 · Edmonton, AB

Data Engineering Manager

DHL Supply Chain

  • Led modernization of distributed on-premises data workloads into Azure and Fabric, including secure ingestion, orchestration, batch/stream processing, and serving patterns.
  • Led and mentored engineers; strengthened Git, code review, testing, deployment automation, documentation, and incident investigation practices.
  • Diagnosed shared SQL platform bottlenecks through execution plans, I/O, memory grants, indexing, locking, and workload analysis, turning one-off fixes into reusable guidance.

Jul 2022 - Apr 2025 · Edmonton, AB

Business Analytics Manager

DHL Supply Chain

  • Led migration and integration work for warehousing, routing, and transportation analytics; delivered Azure-connected systems using ADF, APIs, Functions/Logic Apps, SQL Server, and reporting platforms.
  • Established database documentation, release/UAT discipline, and SQL performance training to help teams ship repeatable, supportable operational solutions.

Nov 2020 - Jul 2022 · St. Albert, AB

Senior Operations Systems Analyst

Connect Logistics

  • Managed a small technical team delivering WMS changes, UAT, production support, SQL/ETL troubleshooting, and releases across operational warehouse workflows.
  • Modernized reporting in three months with no data loss; supported SQL Server, DB2/AS400, SSIS/SSRS, Jaspersoft, and Power BI.

Oct 2018 - Nov 2020 · St. Albert, AB

Operations Analyst

Connect Logistics

  • Built operational reporting for a warehouse startup and validated WMS changes through end-to-end acceptance testing and database-driven issue investigation.

Selected independent engineering projects

Public case studies and demos use synthetic data and are independent of employer systems.

ERD Explorer

Node.js | JavaScript | Azure App Service / Azure SQL

Browser-based database structure explorer; live personal Azure demo with an acceptance phase in progress.

  • Implemented Entra-protected access, bounded catalog discovery, interactive diagrams, source/identity boundaries, and review of exact SQL before single-use metadata extraction approval.
  • Added deterministic relationship suggestions with composite-key rules and evidence distinctions; tested historical releases with automated, Azure SQL integration, browser, cancellation, and rollback checks.

Warehouse Management System

C#/.NET | React / TypeScript | SQL Server

Independent receiving and directed-putaway prototype grounded in warehouse operations.

  • Designed transaction-safe, idempotent receiving and putaway commands with stored command outcomes and an inventory event ledger; identical retries do not duplicate physical stock.
  • Verified a synthetic UI-to-API workflow and exact request replays: 240 units reconciled with zero differences; physical-scanner and representative-operator UAT remain open.

Database Intelligence Workbench

ASP.NET Core | React / TypeScript | SQL Server

Early-stage database investigation and evidence-focused answer prototype.

  • Built reviewed/redacted scan plans, synthetic model packs, and deterministic answers tied to cited schema evidence, with explicit abstention when support is missing.
  • Used focused test fixtures to expose false relationship matches and refine citation behavior; live profiling and model-backed AI are proposed, not deployed.
