About
19 years of turning complexity
into competitive advantage
I de-risk complex digital transformations for organisations that can't afford to get it wrong — from national broadcasters serving 100M+ Australians to enterprise clients navigating cloud-first futures.
My career has been defined by a single through-line: making technology work at the scale and complexity that matters most. At the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, I architected the platform that delivers public media to tens of millions of Australians — building systems where failure genuinely isn't an option.
Today, as Head of Solutions and Architecture at Powerhouse, I work across diverse enterprise portfolios — translating ambiguous business challenges into precise, scalable technical strategies. I bridge the gap between executive vision and engineering reality, ensuring that transformation initiatives deliver lasting value rather than technical debt.
I hold an MBA (Technology) from UNSW, a Graduate Certificate in Cybersecurity from Charles Sturt University, and an MSc in Information Systems from CQU — complementing two decades of hands-on delivery with the strategic and security disciplines modern enterprises demand.
Principles
How I work
Outcome-first thinking
Every architectural decision traces back to measurable business value — not technical novelty for its own sake.
Engineering empathy
Great platforms are built by great teams. I invest in the people, not just the systems.
De-risk by design
19 years has taught me that complexity is the enemy. I architect for clarity, resilience, and operational simplicity.
Continuous transformation
Technology never stands still. I build organisations capable of evolving with it — not chasing it.
