About

With over 14 years of experience at Bombardier and now Alstom, I specialize in Train System Engineering, focusing on enhancing rail safety, technical precision, and project reliability. My work supports the development of innovative and dependable transportation solutions, ensuring every project is delivered with meticulous attention to detail. Prior to this, I spent 16 years at the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC), in rolling stock commissioning, and sustainable transit maintenance. My background in reliability engineering and technical assessments laid the foundation for my current role, where I apply my engineering expertise to keep Alstom at the forefront of the railway industry. I’m passionate about driving innovation and engineering excellence in every endeavor, contributing to the future of safe and sustainable rail transport.
