Turning an invoice into a payment file

Staff were copying details from invoices into the payment system. I built a tool that scanned each invoice, extracted the data and prepared a file the payments team could import.

The estimated saving in manual labour was $350,000–$400,000.

What it takes to staff a game

A game starts well before the puck drops. I brought shift schedules, attendance and payroll into one view so the operations team could see what each event cost, from setup through overtime.

I worked with HR and finance to make sure the calculations reflected union pay rules.

OpenText & IBMSide table books

A shorter path from application to offer

At OpenText, I followed a candidate through the recruiting process and found steps teams were repeating by hand. I used Avature to automate those steps and built reports recruiters could use to see where applications stalled.

At IBM, I helped recruiting teams adapt similar systems to the way they hired.

Giving the Canadian team its own system

Separating the Canadian business from a shared Workday system meant untangling the information behind each paycheque. I mapped missing time entries, payroll IDs and reporting relationships into the new setup.

Managers could use their own approval workflows while time and payroll data continued to move between systems.

Which contracts are worth renewing?

A renewal notice tells you when a contract ends. It rarely tells you whether anyone is still using what it pays for. I brought purchasing records, contract data and hardware use into a single view for TD’s procurement team.

That work helped TD avoid more than $1.9 million in unnecessary renewals.

From a shop idea to a live app

I took a Shopify app from its first requirements through testing and a live listing. Working at that scale meant owning the small decisions too: what had to ship, what could wait and which edge cases to test.

Another independent build applied that same approach to automating work in Gmail.

Following stock from shelf to ledger

A warehouse count and a purchasing report describe the same stock in different ways. I worked with warehouse and finance teams to reconcile inventory, then combined delivery data in a dashboard they could use to follow shipments.

The warehouse tracked more than 134,000 SKUs. Its inventory count matched the fiscal audit in full.

A quicker answer to a vacation request

I worked with HR teams to trace vacation and absence records from older systems into Workday. We cleaned up the data and rebuilt the reporting so staff could answer a question without assembling another spreadsheet.

Preparing the vacation report took 75% less time.

What are we paying our suppliers?

I brought vendor spend, contract renewals and supplier measures into Power BI. I traced the numbers back through the purchasing systems so finance could use the dashboard in a supplier negotiation.

The dashboard gave executives a view of $50 million in annual procurement spending.

Listening at the drive-through

At Tim Hortons locations, I helped turn voice-order data into a way of studying the drive-through. I tested how conversations moved from cloud storage into reporting models so the team could examine ordering patterns.

The testing covered data from more than 50 Canadian drive-throughs.
