I build scalable data platforms, cloud infrastructure, and reliable developer tooling.

Australia
Message

I'm currently building data intelligence platforms at Culture Amp, including a scalable data de-identification service using Kafka and AWS Comprehend to support privacy and compliance across historical and ongoing datasets.

At SEEK, I led adoption of Karpenter-based EKS autoscaling, centralized observability with Fluent Bit and CloudWatch, and delivered autoscaling for Databricks Structured Streaming workloads. I also partnered with data science and analytics teams to standardize SSOT datasets for ML experimentation and AI model reliability.

Across Zendesk, MYOB, and REA Group, I've modernized Kafka infrastructure, migrated telemetry data to Snowflake, curated BigQuery datasets, and built configuration-as-code tooling used by more than 80 teams and 1,300 services.

I've worked across software development, DevOps, and data engineering for 17+ years, from Rails APIs and CI/CD pipelines to cloud data platforms. I enjoy mentoring engineers through architecture guidance, hands-on programming, training, and knowledge-sharing sessions.
