A small window into the person
behind these pages.
A glimpse of me
Hi, I’m Thales, probably the friendliest person you’ll meet today. The tattoos might suggest otherwise at first glance, but I’m the kind of guy who tries to leave every conversation a little brighter and a lot more useful.
Often joking I was a Labrador in a previous life, I turn everyday moments into stories, fueled by strong coffee, a steady stream of Magic: The Gathering, and a love of unseen corners of the map. I hold long, one-sided debates with my cats, Gatsby and Zaz, about nap schedules and the ethics of 5 a.m. breakfasts. I also rank cafés by their sparkling water and the friendliness of their baristas. Friends will tell you I sometimes mess up directions, but that’s somehow how I end up knowing a spot no guide lists.
By day, I’m an unrepentant perfectionist with a soft spot for clean systems that actually behave. I’ll ask about your day and, when needed, roast you just enough to spark a smile. I refuse to let just another Tuesday pass without a new side quest. In every project, I try to leave a fingerprint, whether that means building a new tool the team starts relying on or redesigning a process in a way it has never been done before.
I like what I do and the people who cross my path. I’m grateful for each new connection, and I believe even a brief chat can change someone’s life. If you spot a tattooed guy with a coffee and a big grin, that’s probably me. Say hi. Odds are you’ll leave with a lighter day and a story worth telling.

The why behind it all
I like making hard things simple and then sharing the recipe. Early on I learned that a good process beats a heroic fix, so I build frameworks that let people do great work without me standing there.
What keeps me showing up is simple. I like when a question leaves with a clear answer. I like when a small tool saves someone ten minutes. I like when a messy handoff turns clean and stays that way. In my world that means pricing and customer incentives with fewer surprises, extracting meaning from messy sources and shaping it through Storytelling with Data (yes, that is a reference), and KPI sets that point to the next decision instead of just the last result.
A few rules I carry everywhere. Make the right path the easy one. Write it down so anyone can repeat it. Measure first, then improve. Choose boring reliability over clever hacks that age badly. Be kind and be direct. Both save time.
The next horizon
I spent a few days in Calgary and it felt like a fit. No grand scene. Just the useful stuff that sticks for me: a walk along the Bow River before 8 a.m., a café that gets my order right, a pace that lets me finish what I start. A friend’s line became a mantra I live by now: the world is too big to risk living in just one country. That turned a feeling into a plan.
I’m opening my next chapter in Canada with a special interest in Calgary. I’m exploring roles across commercial, sales excellence, and marketing teams. I’m flexible on scope and seniority, from hands-on specialist work to leading small teams and shaping new strategies. I do require employer sponsorship and I’m ready to move quickly on interviews and logistics. In the first stretch, I focus on clarifying KPIs, untangling messy data and workflow transitions that slow decisions, and shipping tools that save time every day.
If this feels like a fit, say hi and we’ll set up a chat.
