This is likely one of the most significant cloud implementation this year and required iterative effort to deal with various project challenges, timelines and new data integrations methods.
Specifically in the area of CDK Module Readiness: Several new CDK modules were created: Redshift, Airflow, Appflow, Glue, Lakeformation, S3 replication, Athena and OpenSearch
Thanks for your ongoing effort supporting BMO’s Ambition 2025 “

Communication
” Ivan’s communication exceeds expectations. As he is relatively new to his career, the way he expresses sincerity and respects others is beyond expectations. I’ve never had an issue with Ivan in regards to the way he communicates with others. Ivan also assimilates criticism very well and demonstrates his ability to adapt to changes.”
Attitude
” Ivan presents an extremely positive attitude with every interaction I have with him as well as others. He displays excellent decision making skills and always seeks out guidance when he cannot figure things out. Ivan always steps up to the plate to handle escalations and assists others when they need assistance. “
Overall Job Requirement
” Irregardless of his shift, Ivan maintains the highest amount of contacts on his pod, each month. There has only been 2 months in the past year where he was not the top, and that was due to vacations. He exceeds his ability and the requirements by handling more contacts than required for his position. He understands his role very well and applies all of the technical requirements for his position. “
Quality of Work
” Ivan always takes a proactive stance when trying to solve issues, sometimes to where it is too proactive. Without being asked, Ivan always looks to improve processes / documentation. He consistently plans ahead and ensures that processes are in place in case something gets missed. He takes ownership of mistakes and improves his quality with every piece of feedback he receives. “
Continuous Development
” Ivan has excelled in his development since he started at LVS. He has taken and completed 5 certifications since he was hired at LVS, most on his own dime/time. He is always looking to improve himself and he networks himself very well around LVS. He continuously looks for his next opportunity and speaks with many people regarding his next steps. So much to the point where people are reaching out to him.”
