About Me

Passionate About Technology. Driven by Results.

Hey there! I'm an IT professional who genuinely loves using technology to make businesses run better, faster, and smarter. I don't just fix problems — I find ways to make sure they don't come back. With over 20 years of hands-on experience at Best Buy Canada, I've led enterprise-scale infrastructure projects, managed massive device fleets, and built systems that keep hundreds of locations running at 99%+ uptime. Whether it's redesigning a 430,000 sq ft warehouse network with zero downtime, opening large-footprint retail stores from day one, or training 100+ technicians — I bring strategic thinking and technical depth to every challenge.
