I rarely write LinkedIn posts, but felt the need to shout out my amazing RBC Amplify team this summer. I've never encountered a group with such diverse personalities and skill sets yet vibe so well together. To have the fortune of being placed on the same team, it was quite the lottery win. We complemented each other with our own strengths, and together as a team we've had an unforgettable summer. From being complete lost in the first month of "doesn't a solution already exist" to developing a pending patent product, I'm proud of what we've learned and achieved. Shout out to  - Rachel Chen, our developer, designer, and my love 💕 - Maaz Siddiqi, our exceptional developer and my PR approver 🫡 - Jaymil Chaudhari, the best Business Analyst who creates the best slides and business case you'll see 🚀 Much love to our amplify parents (team leads) Stephanie Rodriguez, Carla Truedeau, Paul Scott, George Gerchikov, Rodney Herridge, and countless mentors that went out of their way to help us. What a journey it has been. In addition, I'm super excited to join Carlos Graciano, TOGAF in January as Solution Architect. Honoured for the opportunities given and looking forward to a phenomenal winter! p.s. thanks to Nathan Chung for photos <3

Trying to break into the Canadian Tech Industry? Join us at the BobaTalks discord to hear from Alexander Braive, Senior Program Manager at Google in Toronto, and his path into the Canadian tech sector. Alex and I were coworkers at Google and in the few years I got to work with him, brings a wide and impressive resume of experience between consulting, product ownership, program management, and overall strategic execution and am super grateful that he's taking time to inform the next generation of tech professionals: Event Link: https://lnkd.in/gA5PQYZk On a fun side note: BobaTalks has quickly gained a strong following in Canada 🇨🇦 and after meeting many of you during office hours, had the idea to bring Alex on to speak about his experience navigating his own career in Canada. Thank you to those of you I've met and looking forward to many of you I haven't had a chance to meet!
