Data & AI leader: building teams, platforms and AI systems that make delivery faster.

I set up the team, the standards and the platform, and I stay close enough to the build to architect it myself. Currently Reporting Manager, Amplify-Now, based in Perth, Western Australia.

Featured work

Leadership, AI and platforms that ship

Data platforms · INX × DataDivers

Project Bifrost: an API without an API

A metadata-driven integration on AWS S3, Airflow and Snowflake. INX's customers can import and export their own data safely, without anyone babysitting the process. Presented at the Snowflake User Group Perth.

~0.6 FTE saved on manual integration work

AI · Amplify-Now · independent research

Cloud orchestrates, local executes: local-LLM research

Can local open-weight models safely take over mechanical AI work? I ran a structured evaluation of 19 model configurations and several agent harnesses, and applied the same pattern to an "AI factory" for coding and customer engagement.

ORIGINS: the pipeline that became a research data platform

A 2-week POC automating Telethon Kids Institute's monthly ORIGINS reporting turned into a multi-year partnership and the foundation of the institute's Data and Analytics Platform.

2 weeks to automate a 3–5 day monthly process

Data platforms · Arc Infrastructure × DataDivers

Real-time rail-sensor monitoring across Western Australia

Arc Infrastructure's in-house monitoring product was replaced with a real-time pipeline. Level-crossing sensor data flows from collectors to TimescaleDB, an Azure medallion architecture and a live Power BI status and alarm report.

The short story

From the subsurface to AI enablement

I started in geophysics, spending eight years at Baker Hughes reading real-time drilling and wireline data in Egypt and Australia, where one good call could save a well. That taught me to trust data only when it is checked, and to act on it fast.

Doctoral research in formation evaluation took me into Python and machine learning. Then came data engineering and consulting at DataDivers, delivering Snowflake, Azure and Power BI platforms for health, rail, finance and government clients.

Today I lead reporting at Amplify-Now. I built the team, then built the AI system that now helps the whole company deliver. More about me →
