Since July 2025 I’ve been working as Service Manager at EcoJoule Energy, based in Australia. The role is a step up from the hands-on IoT and technical support work of previous positions — I’m now working across all of our teams and closely with our clients to ensure we continue supporting the grid. It draws directly on the field support, systems integration and customer-facing experience from ...

In February 2024 I joined LPA Energy Group as an IoT Engineer, working within the VRT Tek team based in Milton, Queensland. The role centred on supporting VRT’s energy monitoring systems — the edge-connected devices and telemetry platforms that give clients visibility into how their energy assets are performing. It’s the kind of work that sits at the intersection of hardware, connectivity and ...

From February 2023 to January 2024 I worked as a Technical Support Engineer at Verton, a company behind one of the more interesting pieces of industrial technology I’ve worked with: the world’s first remote-controlled load-management system. Verton’s pitch is making heavy industry safer, faster and smarter, and the support role reflected that directly — this wasn’t a helpdesk job, it was field...

From July 2020 I was contracted to remotely support a pipeline construction project in Papua New Guinea — the Dirio Gas Pipeline — assisting with a specific work package for the team completing the works on the ground. Remote support on a construction project means the job is largely about documentation and compliance: reviewing and compiling the paperwork the team on site needed, and specific...

Alongside the embedded control system work, from February 2020 I took on a data engineering contract that pulled me deeper into software: building data processing scripts and workflows in Python for a client who needed to make sense of large volumes of time series data. The client supplied their data in raw text formats, which meant the first job was building reliable cleaning and ingestion pi...
