Welcome! I’m a futurist, disruptor, and lifelong learner with over 13 years of experience in IT and a diverse career spanning photography, business management, and emerging technologies. Throughout my journey, I’ve always been driven by a passion for exploring the forces that shape our world. From the groundbreaking shifts in technology to the ripple effects of societal change, I thrive on uncovering patterns and connecting the dots to make sense of the future.

My expertise lies in analyzing the trends and innovations that are transforming how we live, work, and connect. Whether it’s the electrification of transport, the rise of artificial intelligence, or the rapid adoption of renewable energy and sustainable food systems, I focus on the technologies that disrupt industries and redefine what’s possible. These transformations aren’t just technical—they’re deeply human, impacting every aspect of our daily lives and the planet we call home.

A Journey of Innovation and Problem-Solving

For more than a decade, I worked in the IT industry, developing expertise in:

  • Internet Service Delivery
  • Cybersecurity
  • Network Management
  • E-commerce
  • Database Support and Data Analysis

My career has spanned roles as a founding partner, operations manager, and technical consultant, where I tackled complex challenges and implemented transformative solutions. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of how technology evolves and disrupts industries—perspectives I now bring to my analysis of global trends.

Highlights from My IT Career:

  • Founding and Managing CyberOne Internet Pty Ltd: Directed marketing strategies and oversaw technical support operations for a pioneering digital service provider.
  • Partnering at EON Consultancy: Led operations, technical consultations, and marketing to drive the adoption of innovative digital solutions.
  • Delivering Data-Driven Insights: Provided critical systems integration and actionable analytics to help businesses thrive in the digital age.

A Lifelong Observer of Disruption

My fascination with disruption began in the late 1980s, during the personal computer revolution. I’ve dedicated my career to understanding the ripple effects of innovation, from the rise of the internet and e-commerce to the transformative potential of AI and autonomous systems.

In 2003, I began closely following Tesla, recognizing its potential to redefine transportation and energy. This early interest grew into a broader focus on how electric vehicles, renewable energy storage, and digital transformation are converging to create new paradigms for industries and societies.

What Inspires Me

I’ve been inspired by visionary thinkers and creators who dared to imagine a different future. As a child, the works of Jules Verne and Isaac Asimov fueled my imagination and taught me to see beyond the limits of the present. Their stories of exploration and innovation planted the seeds for my lifelong fascination with disruption and technological advancement.

As I grew older, I recognized the impact of modern disruptors like Nikola Tesla, Elon Musk, and Steve Jobs, whose bold ideas reshaped industries and challenged conventional thinking. However, I want to be clear: I do not see Jobs or Musk as personal heroes, nor do I view them as geniuses or visionaries. Rather, I see them as opportunistic disruptors who had the means, the opportunity, and the perfect vacuum to fill. While their contributions are undeniable, I believe their legacies are overshadowed by their egos.

Nature also inspires me. Whether hiking remote trails or diving beneath the ocean’s surface, I’ve learned that the natural world holds lessons in resilience, balance, and adaptability. These insights drive my belief that innovation must work in harmony with sustainability to create a better future.

Ultimately, I’m inspired by the potential of disruption—not just as a driver of technology but as a force to reimagine how we live, work, and connect for the betterment of society.
