Data & AI Engineering Advisor · Sydney
Clarity for complex data, AI, and engineering decisions.
I help organisations turn ambitious plans into dependable platforms, useful data products, and capable teams. My advice stays grounded in delivery: practical enough to implement, rigorous enough to scale.
How I can help
Advice that survives contact with delivery.
I work with executives, product leaders, and engineering teams when the path forward is important but not obvious. The aim is clarity, momentum, and a solution your team can sustain after the engagement.
Platform architecture
Assess the current estate and design pragmatic target architectures for ingestion, modelling, governance, observability, and trusted access.
Delivery & reliability
Unblock difficult programmes, strengthen CI/CD and testing, improve incident practices, and create visibility across delivery and platform health.
Team capability
Shape roles, ways of working, and technical standards while coaching leaders and engineers to make clearer decisions independently.
Experience behind the advice
From board-level questions to production pipelines.
Across 15+ years I have built data functions, led teams, modernised platforms, and delivered analytics across SaaS, e-commerce, fintech, wagering, telecommunications, and construction in Australia and Asia.
