Who am I?

I’ve been working as a digital consultant since 2014, and over the years I’ve helped dozens of businesses improve their digital adoption. In my experience, there’s a division in the tech world between those who create the tech, and those aiming to implement it.

I aim to bridge the gap: I have a degree in the Information Science Stream of Cognitive Systems from UBC. This has left me well-versed in digital technology, with a particular focus on AI. I don’t work as a software developer, but I know how to code in several languages, affording me an intimate understanding of how digital technology functions on a granular level.

All that being said, I’m also connected to the “people” side of things. I’ve worked at the management level at many companies, and have an intimate awareness of the problems business-owners face. I’ve also worked with consumers in a variety of industries, and I have a sense of what kind of experience they are looking for.

Areas of focus include:

  • Setting up a help section
  • Web design options
  • Privacy and security
  • Digital Marketing
  • AI risks and implementation
