I'm a results-oriented engineering leader building and scaling AI solutions. Currently Snr Director of ML Ops, Infrastructure & Engineering at Nearmap, based in Sydney, Australia. My focus is agentic AI — agent harnesses, skill engineering, MCP tooling, and the developer ergonomics around them — on top of a deep background in ML, data science, and big-data systems. I'm also the founder of AtaNexus, a co-author of two Packt books, and a frequent speaker, mentor, and multi-award datathon winner.
