Project EngineerSuncable Sep 2021 - Jul 2023As part of an Integrated Sun Cable / Hatch / Bechtel / SMEC JV Kurt was a integral member of the project delivery team. Initially, Kurt was brought in to manage the proposal for the offtake agreement to secure an import licence of 1.75GW of firmed renewable power into Singapore. Kurt’s initial scope was to manage all technical deliverables, for the Power Generation and Transmission infrastructure, such as the 4200km HVDC Subsea Cables, 800km of Overhead HVDC Transmission Lines, 16GW of Solar PV and 30GWh of BESS Integration. His scope was later expanded into other areas of the proposal such as the carbon abatement strategies, and project financing. Furthermore, Kurt worked in the Overhead Transmission Team focussing on the development of the 800km HVDC Transmission line, transporting over 6GW of renewable power at 525kV to Darwin. Kurt’s role encompassed all of the transmission line packages from Early Contractor Involvement, HVDC Interactions and system studies, to stakeholder engagement and transmission line and conductor feasibility design.Through this, Kurt also developed bespoke software to quantitatively advise on the feasibility of constructing the transmission line within the railway corridor. The software was able to optimise between various routes, railway corridor and transmission easement widths, tower span and structural complexities, geotechnical and environmental considerations, route curvature and ‘straight-lining’, land acquisition costs, required land tenure, native title, and stakeholder engagement and many other parameters. The software was built in Python, Java and HTML with visual outputs displayed on Google maps for data validation and visualisation. Quantitative outputs where also created and assessed within a pre-defined multi-criteria analysis framework. -
Software EngineerCombet Dec 2020 - Mar 2023Sydney, New South Wales, AustraliaKurt was tasked with developing the backend software for Australia’s first COMputerised BETting (COMBET) platform for the Australian Horse Racing Industry. Kurt developed the code from initial concept to deployment. Furthermore, Kurt developed the backend Infrastructure and tools to analyse the stochastic statistical characteristics to optimise the parameters for transient conditions. This was conducted primarily with Monte-Carlo Analyses. Upon launch, COMBET had processed $1.9 million AUD in payments within the first 12 weeks operating in the NSW and VIC betting markets. It has since expanded into the QLD market.https://www.combet.com.au/ -
