About Me
I live in the beautiful city of Adelaide in South Australia, a place renowned for its wonderful produce, great food and wine, and vibrant festivals—yet it remains refreshingly uncrowded. I am blessed with a wonderful wife and three awesome daughters who bring joy and laughter to my life every day. My favorite pastimes include walking in nature, spending time on the ocean, and indulging my curiosity through learning and applying new things from cooking to programing, or diving deem into all things stratagy.
Professional Journey
My career has been a diverse and enriching journey in which I have achieved significant personal character development. I have had some great wins interlaced with epic failures, pivots, and reinventions. Throughout it all, I developed resilience and adaptability. I have learned a lot, and some of it has even been useful.
I hold a formal background in geoscientific and environmental management and have extensive consulting experience in the mining, oil and gas, and resources sectors. Over the years, I have specialized in business intelligence, data modeling, data engineering, and reporting. My roles have exposed me to broad aspects of ICT functions through senior technical positions, enabling me to deliver results across varied projects, including environmental informatics, geoscience, sustainability reporting, business analysis, and project management.
Prior to joining SRA, I held several impactful roles in hydrogeology, environmental management, and data analytics at companies like Territory Iron, Harmony Gold, Hill 50 Gold, and Western Mining Corporation. I also founded and ran a geoscientific data management startup, Data at a Touch, delivering innovative data management solutions to South Australian mineral explorers.
