Specializing in optimizing engineering asset management across mining, defense, manufacturing, construction, and utilities, I leverage data to enhance maintenance, risk, and investment decisions. As a specialist in engineering asset, technology and data frameworks, I streamline operations by integrating and visualizing complex data sets.Recognised for reducing inefficiencies in data practices and enhancing decision-making processes, I advise and lead technical teams to drive data-driven strategies.My expertise spans I5.0, data and solution architecture, AI integration, IIoT systems, SCADA systems and OT / IT convergence, supported by accolades including Fellowships of Australian Computer Society and International Society Engineering Asset Management.I co-chair The Asset Institute's Virtual Twin Committee for Australia and contribute to global academia and publish regularly as an Adjunct Fellow at the Industrial AI Research Centre at the University of South Australia.Computer Science PhD in Data Governance Framework for converging Operational and Information Technologies.Publications include;*2023 Artificial Intelligence for Industry 4.0.
