| IMAX

Throughout my IT career I have taken the initiative to create and implement cost-effective and innovative technological solutions to enhance functionality across multiple businesses. My specialty within IT is planning, developing, and deploying technology within a collaborative environment that link business units with customers. In just the past few years, I have served as the developer and leader for the following major projects at three different companies: • The Last Maestro at Maestro Games SPC; this is a US patent pending virtual reality (VR) music experience designed for the healthcare and wellness industry as a tool to reduce stress & encourage better motor skills in a fun and rewarding manner. Player progress is measured through biometrics and surveys. The product focus is to help clinicians improve their own workplace mental health as well as a mechanism for managing stress. Other applications for this product include individuals with Autism, Alzheimer’s & chronic pain. Other major responsibilities have included: IT budgeting, global telecommunication services, Agile project management, AWS and Azure cloud-based services, clinical trial management, cyber compliancy & risk assessments, and IoT device software development and data management. • Andromeda at Galixsys Networks; this is a US patented network transport layer (using binary-over-HTTP Port 80/443) that moves IOT devices and autonomous vehicles from being network-ready to network-aware. This product has special applicability for the transportation, drone, and media industries. • Exhibitor Content Delivery Service at IMAX Corporation; this method uses standard internet circuits and a custom-built content management system to deliver Hollywood content to a secured local IMAX content storage system and eliminated the need for couriers to deliver physical drives. These diverse areas have provided me with in-depth experience managing multiple sites, projects, employees and contractors; as well as the consistent ability to deliver products and services in a timely and cost-efficient manner. During my career, I have combined my extensive knowledge of the Entertainment and Gaming industries with the business relationships I have built, to advance corporate objectives, formulate and revise policy as needed; and continue my record of successful project completion. My loyalty, sense of humor and job performance are well-regarded by my supervisors, peers, and employees.
