Accomplished data science & technology development professional with a passion for essential services.
Seeking opportunities to leverage my expertise in data science, technology development, project management, and business analysis.
My approach is detail-oriented, combining problem-solving skills with a strategic vision to provide tangible value through data-driven insights.
Professional Background:
• Recent Engagement: As a Consultant Geophysical Engineer at BHP, I have contributed to the development of cutting-edge mineral exploration technologies.
• Energy Queensland (EQL) Experience: From April 2011 until my transition back to the mining industry in 2019, I held pivotal roles within EQL and its portfolio companies (Ergon & Energex). My responsibilities spanned technology development, data strategy, and data science, focusing on renewable energy integration and energy management.
• Thought Leadership: At EQL, I provided data science expertise, thought leadership, and mentoring across diverse teams. I actively engaged with universities, research organizations, utilities, government bodies, and professional interest groups. Notably, I played a key role in shaping EQL’s Open Data Strategy and contributed to its Digital Transformation and Enablement initiatives.
• Technology development: My projects have ranged from ground, ocean, and airborne geophysical exploration platforms to machine vision and automation with industrial robotics, automated image library construction, oil-well communications and geotechnical logging equipment.
Project Management and Global Collaboration:
• Team Coordination: My experience in project management includes coordinating global teams across different time zones. This has honed my communication skills and ability to facilitate effective teamwork.
• Autonomous Work: While I thrive in collaborative environments, I am equally comfortable working autonomously.
• Stakeholder Engagement: I excel in stakeholder engagement and systems analysis, ensuring seamless transitions from legacy systems (“as is”) to optimized processes (“to be”).
Quantitative Expertise and Financial Markets:
• Diverse Domains: Beyond electricity distribution, my career spans mineral exploration, engineering, funds management, and academic research.
• Financial Markets: Before my tenure at EQL, I gained valuable insights from quantitative front-office roles in financial markets. This experience deepened my understanding of behavioural psychology, macroeconomics, and causal relationships.
