Digital Product & AI Leader / Platform Transformation / CBC · World Vision Canada
01 · Who I Am
I build digital platforms that create real-world connection, between donors and the communities they serve, between audiences and the stories that matter to them.
At World Vision Canada, I led the development of an industry-first AI-powered donor engagement platform, connecting 100,000+ supporters to 700+ global projects through personalized impact reporting at scale. Before that, I spent over a decade at CBC/Radio-Canada building digital audio products heard by millions, launching Canada's first podcast ad server, and integrating AI-driven personalization long before it became standard practice.
What you'll also find here, if you keep scrolling: a creative practice that takes that same belief about human connection and runs it through a completely different machine. I produce original music and video using AI as a genuine creative collaborator, and release it into the world on the same platforms I've spent my career building for others.

The Work
I am not a professional musician. I am a professional who makes music, which turns out to be a different and more interesting thing. Every song starts with something true: a person, a moment, a feeling that has been living long enough to need an exit. I work with AI to give those songs a production quality I couldn't otherwise access. Think of it the way a writer thinks about a printing press. The technology doesn't author the book. It gives the words a form that can travel.
2026 · Album
Nine songs. Written for specific people, about real moments, to say things that matter. Soul, Motown, piano ballad, and 80s-influenced love songs, held together not by genre but by intent.
2026 · Album
The same approach applied to the season: original songs built from real feeling rather than borrowed sentiment. Music for the moments that matter most in the year.
Ongoing · Singles
New tracks released as they're ready. The catalog is growing, follow on your platform of choice to hear what arrives next.
