Work experience

Staff Engineer @ The Catalogue Shopify March 2025 - April 2026
  • Driving the strategy for Shopify's opinionated product knowledge graph, turning fragmented merchant data into standardized, structured fields.
  • Designing and productionizing LLM-powered inference pipelines supporting millions of product-level inferences.
  • Building continuous evaluation frameworks and tools for assessing data quality and model drift.
  • Collaborating across product, infra, and data teams to unify schema definitions, embedding metadata, and knowledge alignment.
Staff Engineer @ People Analytics Shopify September 2015 - March 2025
  • Led the evolution of Shopify's Talent data platform, consolidating extraction, modeling, and observability within Shopify's broader data ecosystem.
  • Built survey, reporting, and planning tooling used to inform high-stakes org-level decisions (e.g., compensation frameworks, headcount modeling).
  • Worked on ambiguous, open-ended problems requiring a balance of technical depth and organizational systems thinking.
  • Mentored engineers and analysts; collaborated closely with leadership on how data informs culture and operations.
  • Technologies: Python scripting, Pandas, LLM, DuckDB, BigQuery, SQLite, GitHub Actions, GCP, d3.js, Remix, TypeScript, CUE lang, Ruby.
  • Soft skills: Stakeholder and expectation management, planning, company building, first-principles thinking, building Talent systems.
Additional roles at Shopify
  • Senior Data Engineer, People Analytics. April 2019 - September 2022.
  • Senior Data Engineer, Data Apps. August 2017 - April 2019.
  • Data Engineer, Shopify Plus. September 2015 - August 2017.
Data Analyst + Data Architect BlackBerry January 2011 - September 2015
  • Support, design and develop data pipelines for business critical applications and dashboards that impact decisions made within all departments of the Quality organisation.
  • Perform ad-hoc data analysis and investigations, as well as debugging Oracle PL/SQL and SQL performance issues.
  • Responsible for developing and implementing a longer-term plan for migrating ETL processing from the current dimensionally-modelled Oracle database into a non-relational storage structure.
  • Provided Python, Elasticsearch and Git tutorials for members of the Analytics team. This allowed many SAS and SQL-intensive processes to be migrated to Python while retaining (or improving) the execution time and supportability.
  • Performed various experiments in order to research and evaluate solutions for building a data mining platform from scratch - the tests covered everything from designing easy user interfaces to the technical considerations. The findings had a direct impact on the design and implementation details of a cross-functional Six Sigma project, leading to significant cost savings and efficiencies.
