For over 30 years, I have navigated the complex intersection of heavy engineering, critical infrastructure, and modern digital transformation. From the depths of submarine combat systems to the heights of F/A-18 avionics, and into the boardrooms of Australian banking, my career has been defined by one constant: bringing order to chaos.
I don't just manage projects; I engineer outcomes. Whether as a CTO building an IoT platform from scratch or a Programme Lead guiding a financial institution through APRA regulatory audits, I apply a unique blend of rigorous Systems Engineering discipline and pragmatic Agile leadership.
My philosophy is simple: Crafting structure so that innovation can run wild. In the age of AI, this means "Guiding the Idiot Savant" - creating the design standards and review frameworks that allow our new digital tools to build incredible things without breaking the foundations.

AI is a high-capacity excavator that needs a site foreman. I specialize in defining the "Love Language" of AI: precise requirements, quality coding standards, and architectural constraints that turn generative chaos into productive engineering.
Navigating APRA standards (CPS234, CPS230) isn't just about compliance; it's about resilience. I translate complex regulatory demands into pragmatic operational frameworks that strengthen the business rather than slowing it down.
I speak the languages of many tribes: the C-suite executive, the regulator, the software architect, and the systems engineer. Bridging these gaps is where true value is unlocked, ensuring that strategic vision is executed with technical precision.
When projects fail and timelines slip, I am the one called in to restore confidence. By re-establishing clear baselines, transparent reporting, and disciplined execution, I turn troubled programs into models of delivery excellence.
