Top SchoolGraham Ballantyne is an Identity & Access Management Architect and senior systems engineer with 16 years of higher-education IT experience at Simon Fraser University, where he leads Canvas LMS engineering and institutional IAM efforts. He designs end-to-end systems and full-stack solutions that power SFU’s large open-source Canvas deployment, enabling a disciplined three-week release cycle and customizations that improve campus collaboration. A pragmatic architect and contributor to Canvas’ open-source codebase, Graham blends hands-on development, systems administration and process design to keep complex academic services reliable and extensible.
