“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

Associate Director - Software, Data & AI Engineering

Since starting my recruitment career in 2020, I’ve specialised in fast-moving areas of technology where the hiring challenges are rarely straightforward. My network spans Software, Data & AI Engineering, Cloud, DevOps, Platform Engineering and SRE, connecting me with engineering leaders and specialist technical talent across Australia.

I’ve delivered permanent and contract hiring for scale-ups, high-growth technology businesses and major organisations across financial services, energy, telecommunications, retail and professional services. From hard-to-find specialists to broader engineering hiring campaigns, I understand the technologies, market dynamics and people behind every brief.

By understanding what a team is building, where it’s heading and who will genuinely thrive there, I create relationships that go deeper than a transaction, and keep clients and candidates coming back.

I love spending quality time with family and friends, most importantly, making memories with my children.

I am extremely passionate about sport (rugby/rugby league).

I’ve spent years collecting and trading Wallabies jerseys, building what may be one of the largest and rarest collections in the world!
