Summary

I am a graduate with a Bachelor of Computer science degree from Carleton University. I have been working in IT for 2+ years and I am very familiar with Java and automation tools such as BluePrism. Over my tenure at CIBC, I have developed and worked on many projects, working from creating detail design documents to functional testing. I have also spent time at RBC creating Automation flows to increase turn over times and reduce mundane tasks to vastly boost productivity levels. I am a motivated team player who enjoys helping others and have used my technical skills to develop software for several small businesses. I am excited to pursue my passion and join a team that will leave a remarkable impact on the IT industry.
