Professional Summary
I'm a First Class Honours graduate in Mathematical Sciences and Statistics from the Australian National University, specialising in algebraic topology. I started uni at 15, and finished the double degree at 20.
These days I deliver analytics and Power BI decision support solutions: leading project delivery end to end, presenting findings to SES Band 1 and 2 executives, and translating complex quantitative outputs into practical business decisions. Before that I spent three years governing enterprise-scale data and reporting in the Australian Public Service, and I've been teaching and tutoring mathematics for seven years.
I combine rigorous quantitative training with auditable reporting pipelines, workflow automation, and stakeholder engagement across all levels. I work best in fast-paced environments where rigorous thinking meets real-world outcomes.
Key Competencies & Skills
- Project Delivery & Stakeholder Engagement: End-to-end delivery from requirements gathering through analytical design and build to deployment; executive briefing and presentation (SES Band 1 and 2); iterative, user-led delivery; engagement across operational, technical, and senior leadership levels.
- Financial & Stochastic Modelling: Honours-level training in stochastic analysis with financial applications: option pricing, hedging and the Black–Scholes framework, Lévy and Poisson stochastic integration, Malliavin's stochastic calculus of variations, investment optimisation under uncertainty.
- Quantitative & Statistical Methods: Generalised linear modelling, Bayesian and statistical inference, exploratory and diagnostic analysis, classification and risk logic, scenario and sensitivity analysis, time series and stochastic process modelling.
- Data Governance & Quality: Enterprise-scale CMDB governance in ServiceNow (~270k assets, ~1.3m configuration items); consolidation of disparate legacy sources into a trusted single source of truth; profiling, validation, and reconciliation; data quality metrics and audit-ready controls; user adoption and legacy-to-target-state transition.
- Data Engineering, Reporting & Automation: Power BI, Power Query, SQL, advanced Excel; Python, R, MATLAB, HTML, CSS; PowerShell and Excel VBA automation pipelines; automated scheduling and dashboards.
- Communication, Teaching & Training: University teaching from first year to Honours level; marking, model solutions, and structured written feedback; private tuition; technical documentation; workplace supervision; public presentation of technical material.
- Productivity & Tooling: Agile sprints, Jira, Confluence, ServiceNow, ArcGIS, Microsoft Excel, LaTeX.
Professional Experience
Data Analyst
- Leading end-to-end delivery of an operational geospatial analytics and Power BI decision support capability, from requirements gathering and stakeholder engagement through analytical design and build to deployment.
- Presenting findings directly to SES Band 1 and 2 executives, translating complex analytical outputs into decision-ready insights on the practical business value the work delivers.
- Building automated ingestion, transformation, validation, and quality assurance pipelines in PowerShell, Power Query, and Excel VBA to consolidate complex multi-source datasets, surfaced through interactive web-embedded Power BI dashboards for map-based decision support.
- Supporting governance and transformation initiatives with executive reporting that converts delivery status, maturity, and currency into measurable datasets for tracking progress and directing effort.
Configuration Management & Reporting Service Delivery Manager
- Governed a ServiceNow configuration management database of ~270k assets and ~1.3m configuration items, a sub-register to the financial asset database, maintained to audit-ready standard at enterprise scale.
- Consolidated disparate legacy sources (private Excel workbooks, legacy registers, web-deployed databases) into a trusted enterprise single source of truth through profiling, validation, and reconciliation.
- Built automated, scheduled dynamic reporting using ServiceNow, SQL, Python, and Power Query, replacing manual processes with auditable, reproducible analytical outputs.
- Implemented data quality metrics surfacing trends, gaps, anomalies, and interdependencies, enabling risk-based analysis such as downstream business system exposure to end-of-life infrastructure.
- Translated complex operational data into self-service interactive maps and dashboards, enabling non-technical stakeholders to access decision-ready insights without analyst intervention.
Workshop Demonstrator
- Assisting students of all levels in the MSI Drop-In Help Centre.
- Tutoring for undergraduate and postgraduate students across various classes for the following courses:
- Tutoring First Nations students through the Tjabal Indigenous Higher Education Centre, providing individual mathematics support that starts from each student's strengths and ways of understanding.
- Teaching students to recall, invent, interpret examples of motivation for mathematical constructs used in discrete mathematics as models of processes in the world.
- Evaluating and marking assignments, providing constructive feedback to help students improve their work and grasp mathematical concepts more effectively.
- Demonstrating strong communication skills in explaining abstract mathematical ideas in a clear and relatable manner.
- Tailoring explanations to diverse learning styles, enhancing engagement for both domestic and international cohorts.
