I am a Full Stack Product Leader specializing in Scaling Financial Products.

I bring 15+ years of financial experience, including 6 years managing $52B+ savings portfolios for Canada's largest banks (Scotiabank & TD), and now I am actively building in the Bitcoin space.

My core value is Agility. I adapt seamlessly between Strategy and Shipping, shifting instantly from defining the high-level vision to driving rapid execution.

I am fluent in:

* Financial Strategy: Deep expertise in P&L management, financial modeling, and risk assessment to ensure every feature drives revenue.

* Scientific Product Discovery: I reject "guessing." I use rigorous user research and rapid prototyping to validate what to build before engineering writes a single line of code, ensuring capital is never wasted on features nobody wants.

* Growth & Retention: Optimizing Unit Economics, reducing churn, and maximizing Lifetime Value (LTV) through data-driven decisions.

* Execution Excellence: PMP-certified leadership in Agile/Scrum and Process Re-engineering to turn messy requirements into predictable roadmaps.

* AI-Native Operations: Leveraging LLMs and AI tools to accelerate workflows and modernize product operations.

* User Adoption: Applying Behavioral Science and Change Management (ADKAR) to solve the hardest problem in Fintech: getting users to trust and use new products.

My superpower is combining Institutional Scale with Startup Speed. I know how to navigate complex regulations like a banker, but I ship and iterate with the agility of a founder.

Hi! I am a technical writer turned STEM innovation funding consultant focused on making complex scientific and technological information accessible. With a background in Biology and Biotechnology, experience in a software company, and four years of experience writing over 400 SR&amp;ED reports, I simplify many STEM concepts for diverse audiences. I have built strong relationships through interviews with over 200 SR&amp;ED claimants and collaborate with scientists and programmers to present information clearly, helping STEM professionals secure non-dilutive funding for their projects.On my profile, you will primarily encounter information on careers for STEM grads and STEM professionals because I'm also passionate about informing STEM grads about their career options (while navigating my own career).

It’s tax season! 
Which means it’s time to plug my day job. 💼 
(Temporarily shifting gears from my usual STEM career content)

I’m an SR&ED innovation funding consultant.

I help companies claim Canada’s Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) tax credit.

In simple terms:
✅ If your company is trying to solve technical problems
✅ Building new technology
✅ Improving a product or process
✅ Or experimenting to figure out what works

Some of that work may qualify for SR&ED funding.

The program refunds a portion of the salaries, contractor costs, and materials used during eligible R&D work.

For many companies, that can mean tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars returned.

Sadly, most innovators assume their work doesn’t qualify.

They think SR&ED only applies to scientists in labs.

But I’ve seen eligible projects in places like:
🔹 Software development
🔹 Manufacturing
🔹 AI and data systems
🔹 Food innovation
🔹 Engineering design
🔹 Hardware development
🔹 Clinical Research

The core question is simple:
Did your team face technical uncertainty while trying to build or improve something?

If the answer is yes, there’s a good chance SR&ED could apply.

A lot of companies only discover this after tax season, when it’s too late to plan properly.

So if you’re building something new and aren’t sure whether it qualifies,

It might be worth asking the question.

Has your company ever looked into SR&ED? 

If not, I can link you up with some of my awesome colleagues at Leyton, and they'll get you all the info you need.
