I believe that effective transportation systems are critical to our quality of life and the resilience of our economies and environment. I apply my twenty-five years of experience in the railway industry, and a keen interest in public and active transport, to produce broad improvements in transportation.My specific technical expertise includes the following domains: Formal systems engineering methodologies System safety, RAM and human factors  Train control and signalling systems Asset protection and condition monitoring systems  Simulation, modeling and validation of train and network behaviour Train scheduling and operations planning toolsMy experience has spanned all aspects of design and delivery of complex technical systems. I have experience of working within formal systems engineering environments on very large scale systems and in the application of systems thinking to generate new solutions for clients. Responsibilities in major transportation projects and proposals in Australia, India and South East Asia have given me an understanding of the broader issues driving transportation needs and the commercial factors driving the delivery of transportation projects and operations.I offer excellent written and oral communication skills and the abilities to identify comprehend complex issues and multiple stake-holder perspectives, to distill the key factors and to present them in written and visual forms for the benefit of a target audience. I am experienced in multi-cultural environments and have the skills to detect and resolve misunderstandings.
