Duane Imambaksh
Senior Digital Transformation Executive & Enterprise Architect
Results-driven technology leader with 20+ years delivering multimillion-dollar global software and cybersecurity initiatives across the USA, Canada, and the Caribbean. As Global Deployment Manager and Product Owner at Schlumberger, I led Agile-driven SDLC programs that cut costs by 50% through automation and compressed process turnaround from 96 hours to 2 hours. My expertise spans cloud architecture (AWS), enterprise security (CISSP), full-stack engineering (Next.js, React, Node.js), data analytics, and machine learning — paired with deep change-management experience guiding 1,000+ people through transformation. I now lead technology and innovation for Canada's leading art auction house while pursuing an M.S. in Computer Science.
