Project Portfolio

To acquire the Google Tag Manager App from Niddocks on the Shopify content management system.

Managed the Acquisition, Transition, and Operation of the Google Tag Manager application on Shopify with a globally delivered team in the UK, India, United States, and Mexico.

Transitioned the team from a post-merger and acquisition team to a DevOps team supporting marketing, operations, and development to a globally delivered team in the UK, Netherlands, Columbia, United States, and Canada.

To lift & shift the Equipment Finance Division (EFD) from BOTW to BMO.

Worked with the BOTW EFD Technical Owner, Architect, Business Analysts, Service Delivery, and Database teams to migrate the email, personal/shared drives, application data, and databases for 20 applications from on-prem to AWS via datasync from BOTW to BMO.

To implement the Beyond Trust agent of 30,000 Windows servers, including the configuration of the SaaS security configuration.

Worked with the I&AM, Cybersecurity, and Domain Admin teams in coordination with the Business to test, mitigate issues, and then roll out via BigFix the required .NET and Beyond Trust agents.

Worked with the I&AM, Cybersecurity, and Vendor teams to configure the required access policies.

BeyondTrust Privileged Access Management (PAM) is a comprehensive  cybersecurity solution designed to protect and manage privileged  accounts and access within an organization's IT environment 

To create the new MDM Storefront DB platform.

When I took over this project it was in red status.

I engaged the subject matter experts and we completed the server and middleware builds, planned and implemented the non-functional testing (verifying the hardware and DB2 disaster recovery plan), and went live on schedule.

To create the new Disaster Recovery configuration for the mainframe platform.

When I took over this project it was in red status.

I engaged the subject matter experts and we created the plan to build and test the POC environment, build and test the NFT environment, and configure the PROD environment within 30 days.

The POC testing was successfully completed 30 days ahead of schedule. The design of the NFT environment was changed during the build requiring the subject matter experts to determine how to move forward to meet the new design.

The disaster recovery timing was reduced by 400%.

To refresh the Netezza/IIAS appliance ecosystem for the EDW platform.

When I took over this project it was in red status. I worked with the subject matter experts to understand the ecosystem and what was required to complete the build.

Worked with the security team to exempt the new IIAS appliances from some security requirements due to these being appliances and not able to meet the Linux standard.

Worked with the Tivoli workload scheduler (TWS) team to perform a POC of the serverless configuration due to TWS not being able to be installed inside the container and not be able to failover. The POC completed successfully.

Worked with the server admin to determine how to configure the failover for the backup client due to the client not being able to be installed inside the container. Also performed an emergency TSM server upgrade to allow the IIAS appliances to perform backups.

To build the new ecosystem for the EDW platform.

The server and SAN admins were engaged, the plan was created, and we built and migrated to the new virtual hosts and SSD SAN with minimal or no impact on schedule.

To build the new Payments Sterling (Payment Hub) ecosystem.

Worked with the solution architects to design the NFT and PROD environments to mitigate the findings in the risk assessment.

I engaged the subject matter experts and we completed the server, middleware and application builds, planned and implemented the non-functional testing (verifying the hardware and application disaster recovery plan), and went live on schedule.

The architect that performs the NFT testing was not available and I performed their role, creating the test plan and implementation checklists. The NFT testing was completed successfully. Due to the complexity of the ecosystem, NFT testing took nine weeks to complete.

Due to the Payments team being an agile team, the design and requirements changed, requiring several Project Change Requests (PCRs) which were raised, approved, and implemented.

To build the new Payments Real Time Payments ecosystem.

Worked with the solution architects to design the NFT and PROD environments to mitigate the findings in the risk assessment.

I engaged the subject matter experts and we completed the server, middleware and application builds, planned and implemented the non-functional testing (verifying the hardware and application disaster recovery plan), and went live on schedule.

Due to the Payments team being an agile team, the design and requirements changed, requiring several Project Change Requests (PCRs) which were raised, approved, and implemented.

To build and migrate to the new AS400 DEV and PROD DR ecosystems at the new Data Centre.

I worked with the subject matter experts and we completed the server, LPAR, middleware and application builds, planned and implemented the non-functional testing (verifying the hardware and application disaster recovery plan), and went live on schedule.

To build and migrate to the new TANDEM DEV and PROD DR ecosystems at the new Data Centre.

I worked with the subject matter experts and we completed the server builds, planned and implemented the non-functional testing (verifying the hardware and application disaster recovery plan), and went live on schedule.

To build and migrate to the new Mainframe DEV and PROD DR ecosystems at the new Data Centre.

I worked with the subject matter experts and we completed the LPAR builds, and migration on schedule.

Worked with the client to ensure that the application teams understood the application and batch impact during the migration.
