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.
Selected technical impact
- Created and taught practical SQL performance material on execution plans, memory, I/O, locking, and measuring actual query work.
- Won the 2019 DHL Hackathon with a user-facing reporting application incorporating data lifecycle management.
