I currently work across academia and industry as a Senior Research Fellow at the Human Performance Research Centre (University of Technology Sydney) with industry collaborations with Rugby Australia's Analytics Team and High Performance Department, the Office of Naval Research Global, and the Australian Defence Science and Technology Group.

For the last 10+ years I've been conducting research and analytics projects across several areas including human performance, high performance sport, and community sports/participation. This includes project initiation and development, data collection, analysis, visualisation, and interpretation via evidence-based research, rigorous statistical analysis and effective visualisation and BI tools e.g. Tableau, R, SQL, AWS, Smartabase and Excel.

My research mainly investigates human performance in various domains such as sports, esports, and military settings. This includes physical, technical, tactical and decision-making performance at the individual level, as well as exploring how the individuals within teams cooperate effectively to ultimately achieve successful collective outcomes.

I obtained my PhD at the University of Newcastle and have published >60 peer reviewed scientific papers, as well as delivering many projects to industry partners. I also hold accreditation as a Level 2 sports scientist (ASpS2) and exercise scientist (AES) through ESSA. I coordinate the subject "Performance analysis and data science" in the Masters of high performance sport degree, and teach in Data Management for Sport and Exercise.

Additional experience included a previous employment at Australian sports technology company Fusion Sport, working with their Smartabase athlete management platform. I've developed numerous pieces of software for Web, PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone, and Android - usually via Unity3D or R (Shiny). I worked for 10 years as a bicycle mechanic and trained with Specialized Bicycles as a bicycle fitting specialist, servicing >200 clients. This involved applying principles of anatomy and physiology to minimise injury and improve comfort from beginners to elite cyclists.
