I build systems that elevate people.

About

I pursue excellence because this life is all there is. I strive to see what's possible.

I've spent a lot of time thinking about what makes the difference between teams that get stuck and teams that break through. It's rarely talent — most teams have plenty of that. It's usually leverage: the right tools, the right framing, the right system that lets people focus on the work that actually matters. That's what I love to build. I've learned — often the hard way — that the best work disappears into the background. I build systems that people actually want to use, and watch what happens when they do.

I'm less interested in doing the work than in seeing the whole picture — understanding why this person thrives here and that process breaks there, and shaping the conditions so everything elevates.

When you build systems that account for how people actually behave, you get to shape outcomes long after you've left the room.

What I Do

Deep mining expertise, modern technical capabilities—deployed to help real people deliver real results.

Digital Transformation & AI Strategy

Seeing where AI actually helps versus where it's just noise — then building the thing that matters

  • Authored AI Strategy with $49.7M value proposition, creating a roadmap for board and technical teams to execute against
  • Personally developed and implemented first-generation RAG and agentic AI tools to demonstrate value and build momentum.
  • Proposed real-world applications for Mill Process Control, Grade Control, and Mine Planning Automation that operational teams have used adopt and improve outcomes

Continuous Improvement & Operating Excellence

Giving teams the structure to find and solve their own problems — not doing it for them

  • Facilitated development of $100M+ per annum improvement portfolio with over $240m+ validated benefits through implementing frameworks for site teams to identify and deliver value
  • Supported Critical Few Program achieving 167% of targets through leading targeted diagnostics and problem-solving to enable site teams to focus on high-impact initiatives
  • Implemented a rigorous constraints-driven Value Driver Trees methodology that helps teams systematically identify high-impact opportunities

Data & Technical Systems

Building the systems that let people see what's actually happening and act on it

  • Led teams that haved deployed global data platform integrations creating a single source of truth for operational teams for global miners
  • Designed and deployed reporting through giving leaders visibility to drive performance across mutil-asset portfolios
  • Built analytical tools that site teams use daily: VDT sensitivity analysis, budget modeling, real-time tracking dashboards

AI Systems Development

Writing code that disappears into the background — tools people use without thinking about

  • Production MCP servers enabling Claude to access enterprise knowledge: semantic search, visual processing, hierarchical embeddings (5+ deployed with auth, monitoring, real users)
  • Multi-agent systems for mining M&A evaluation on Vertex AI with 4 sub-agents and custom MCP tool servers
  • Local-first AI tools: meeting transcription with speaker diarization on Apple Silicon, handwriting OCR, AI-powered financial analysis
  • Full-stack applications: Next.js, Supabase, React — from database design to deployment on Railway, Vercel, and self-hosted infrastructure
