I bring a rare combination to the DSP program: hands-on transportation operations, process-engineering discipline from automotive manufacturing, and the data fluency to keep a fleet efficient from day one. This is my case for why Oshawa & Durham Region should be run by me.
I currently work as a Transportation & Process Analyst at Voyago (Transdev) in Oshawa, where I sit inside daily transportation operations — scheduling pressure, on-time performance, and the process discipline that keeps a fleet moving without surprises. I pair that with active para-transit driving experience, so I understand this business from the dispatch desk and from behind the wheel.
Before moving into transportation, I spent time in production and process engineering at a Tier-1 automotive supplier, where efficiency and error-proofing weren't optional — they were the job. I also carry supply chain operations experience from large-scale retail distribution, giving me a working knowledge of the logistics standards Amazon's network is built on.
What sets me apart from most DSP applicants: I'm also a data and process specialist, most recently at BMO Financial Group. I don't just run routes — I know how to build the reporting and process rigor that keeps a station's cost-per-package and safety metrics visible and improving, week over week.
Daily route performance, driver scheduling, and service reliability are my current job description, not a new skill I'd be learning on Amazon's dime.
Automotive Tier-1 production taught me that small process failures compound fast. I run stations the way I ran production lines: measured, corrected, repeatable.
Cost-per-package, on-road time, safety events — I build the dashboards most owners outsource. That means faster corrections and a station Amazon can trust with less oversight.
Embedded in day-to-day transportation operations: scheduling, service-level tracking, and process improvement inside a regulated passenger-transport network.
Active driving experience navigating real routes, schedules, and rider/customer service standards — the ground-level view most DSP owners never have.
Process control and efficiency work inside a high-volume automotive supply chain, where downtime and defects carry a direct cost.
Operational exposure to distribution and supply chain flows at retail scale, the same logistics logic underlying a delivery station.
Built and maintained data platforms and reporting used for operational decision-making — the same discipline I'd apply to station performance metrics.
I'm based in Oshawa, Ontario, at the center of Durham Region — a natural home base for a DSP station covering Whitby, Ajax, Pickering, and Clarington. I'm not proposing to commute into this market; I already operate in it daily through my current transportation role.
That local presence means faster response to route issues, driver questions, and delivery exceptions — I'm not managing the station remotely, I'm in it.
Fully allocated capital, inclusive of operating expenses — covering launch costs, driver payroll runway, insurance, and working capital without relying on Amazon float or emergency financing.
Prepared to launch at Amazon's required starting fleet size and scale up to 10–15 vehicles as route volume and performance justify expansion — no lag between approval and capacity.
