I’m a Senior Manager leading Cloud and DevOps platforms at a major Canadian bank. Over the years, I’ve worked across DevOps, CI/CD, platform engineering, cloud infrastructure, databases, and storage in both GCP and Azure. I’ve also been closely involved in hiring, mentoring, and evaluating engineers in Canada, which gives me a practical understanding of what employers look for and where many candidates go wrong. I use this experience to help IT professionals improve their resumes, strengthen their interview approach, and better understand how to grow their careers in Canada with clear, practical, and no-fluff guidance.
