As Software Engineering Discipline Lead in WSP’s Digital team, I guide clients through complex digital transformation journeys that fundamentally reshape how infrastructure and built environment organizations operate. My unique combination of engineering and computer science expertise enables me to bridge the gap between traditional engineering disciplines and cutting-edge software solutions. 

I lead multidisciplinary teams tackling Australia’s most challenging software engineering projects, from smart city infrastructure to transportation systems to environmental monitoring platforms. My approach emphasizes user-centered design and practical implementation over theoretical solutions, ensuring that technology investments deliver measurable value to end users. I’ve championed software engineering as a critical discipline within one of the world’s leading professional services firms, elevating its profile and demonstrating its essential role in modern infrastructure delivery. 

My work spans diverse sectors, including transportation, water, energy, and urban development, consistently delivering innovative software solutions that enhance operational efficiency, improve safety outcomes, and enable data-driven decision making. Through mentorship and thought leadership, I’m developing the next generation of software engineers who understand both technical excellence and real-world application, ensuring Australia’s infrastructure sector remains competitive in an increasingly digital global economy.
