Overview

I've spent 12 years on real-time systems - first at Canadian Tire, now at Relay Foods. Grew the real-time team from 4 to 13 engineers. Mentored 4 engineers through their first promotion. Before that: Air Canada and KPMG. Most at home with WebSockets and cloud security. Collector of fountain pens.
