01 — How I plan
One integrated schedule, from contract award to delivery.
An illustrative Integrated Master Schedule showing what I build and govern: a WBS-driven hierarchy, finish-to-start logic, the critical path, baseline versus current, progress against a data date and key milestones.

02 — Profile
Schedule quality you can make decisions on.
I'm a Project Controls and Master Scheduling specialist with a career spanning shipbuilding, construction, oil & gas and industrial projects. I develop and govern Integrated Master Schedules (IMS), Integrated Program Schedules (IPS) and L3/L4 operational schedules — and the processes that keep them accurate.
As Lead Scheduler at Seaspan Vancouver Shipyards, I support multi-disciplinary teams across PMO, Engineering, Operations and Planning, driving schedule quality, forecasting accuracy, baseline integrity and data-driven decision-making.
I'm PMP-certified, an advanced Primavera P6 user, and work to DCMA schedule quality standards, Earned Value Management practices and complex EPC program workflows.
