I have over ten years industry experience working for high profile startups, large-scale defence and civilian software and systems development.
From an academic perspective, I have completed the Masters of Business and Technology program, and was awarded an undergraduate scholarship to study at University of Technology, Sydney where I maintained consistently high grades represented by receiving multiple awards for academic excellence throughout my undergraduate studies. I was also awarded an innovation award for my Capstone (an honours-level equivalent) project.
I also contribute to open source projects in leadership roles such as being the lead maintainer for a Drupal module and developing several projects on GitHub. I have also presented at leading data and tech conferences.
