About

With nearly two decades of experience in building services engineering, energy efficiency projects, and sustainable buildings, I have led the successful delivery of complex operations, asset upgrades, and capital works across industrial, commercial, and mixed-use property portfolios. My expertise is grounded in life cycle engineering, performance analytics, and building optimisation, underpinned by a strong technical foundation and a forward-thinking, strategic approach. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, a Master of Engineering in Sustainable Systems, and am currently completing a Master of Commerce (Strategy & Innovation), equipping me with the skills to integrate engineering rigour with business strategy, financial modelling, and innovation frameworks. Certified as a Project Manager, Energy Manager, NABERS and CBD Assessor, and Green Star Accredited Professional, I bring technical authority and compliance expertise across energy performance, building tuning, and ESG reporting. I am also an active member of Engineers Australia and CIBSE UK, ensuring alignment with best practice standards globally. I have a proven record of technical leadership, stakeholder alignment, and lifecycle-based decision-making to drive measurable sustainability outcomes. I leverage digital platforms and analytics to inform asset-level interventions and portfolio-wide sustainability strategies. Since relocating to Australia in 2015, I have held key engineering and sustainability roles with leading organisations such as John Holland, Mirvac, where I have contributed to decarbonisation roadmaps, asset resilience planning, and performance-based certification programs. In summary, I bring a unique blend of technical depth, strategic vision, and operational excellence, positioned to lead and contribute meaningfully to high-impact sustainability outcomes within the built environment.
