About

For 20+ years I've worked where data, AI, and product strategy meet. I've built analytics teams, lead product portfolios, shipped AI-powered products, and delivered programs that generated millions in measurable business value.

At TELUS Communications I built and lead a data science team, built a virtual BI team of AI agents that automated half our product scorecard and saved hours of manual work every month, and led the data and analytics strategy for a smart home platform serving customers across Canada. I've owned the full stack: data governance, privacy compliance, KPI frameworks, self-serve analytics, executive reporting, and agentic AI tooling built on BigQuery and Claude Code.

Outside TELUS I founded Energy Labs North, where I aggregate open government datasets into B2B intelligence products. I've also shipped ConsumerRecallsCanada.com and ConsumerRecallsUSA.com (124,000+ recall records refreshed daily from six government APIs), EtyApp.com (a daily etymology word game), and WhereTheyFall.com (a geospatial map of 32,000+ NASA meteorite landings). I run the full lifecycle on each: product strategy, data architecture, full-stack build, SEO, and revenue operations, largely using agentic AI workflows.

What drives me is the accelerating potential of AI to enable small teams to do what once required entire departments. Organizations that know how to combine data, business context, product ownership, and AI tooling will pull away from those that don't. I've spent the last few years building that capability at both the enterprise and startup scale, and I want to keep doing it.
