Experience
Pioneering State-Wide Systems
Senior Scientist with the QLD Government
- present
I led the Vegetation Information System project. I was responsible for translating the Vegetation Management Act into accessible spatial servers, providing regional officers with their first real-time access to land and water data.
* Biodiversity & Conservation Modeling: Coordinated the collation and validation of state-wide spatial data for the Commonwealth Wild Rivers Project and developed distribution models for rare and threatened species.
* Legislative Compliance: Expert at comparing clearing permits against satellite imagery (SLATS) to monitor legal vs. illegal vegetation clearing, providing the forensic spatial evidence required for government investigations.
2. Stakeholder Engagement & Industry Education
* $4M Project Management: At AgForce QLD, I co-managed a major government-funded initiative, exceeding all deliverables by doubling the expected workshop output while remaining strictly within budget.
* Technical Mentorship: Developed and delivered a 3-day ArcGIS training package across regional QLD. I have personally mentored hundreds of field officers and landholders, simplifying complex mapping technologies into practical tools for primary production.
* Cross-Sector Collaboration: Negotiated the first non-profit spatial data-sharing agreement between AgForce and the QLD Government, removing barriers to data access for rural landholders.
3. High-Risk Data Analytics & Safety Governance
* National SME Leadership: Transitioned deep spatial skills into the energy sector at Origin Energy, serving as the National Subject Matter Expert for In-Vehicle Monitoring Systems (IVMS).
* Predictive Safety Modeling: Managed data for a fleet of 1,000+ vehicles covering 25M km annually. I utilized PowerBI and ArcGIS to identify behavioral trends (e.g., fatigue and harsh braking patterns), directly influencing national corporate safety policies.
* Contract & Risk Governance: Managed multi-million dollar data service contracts and led the deployment of advanced fatigue monitoring technologies, ensuring 100% data integrity and legislative compliance.
