Helping people make better decisions, spend resources more effectively, and making puns.

Excited to meet everyone and kick-off the new year with a new position.

I lead a group of financial modellers, analysts, and economists specialising in complex government forecasting, workforce modelling, decision support, and analytics. I am an open and collaborative leader, driving the professional growth of my team and providing a supporting environment to push limits and achieve goals. Additionally, in my service line role as Oceania Learning and Development lead I have sought to actively build a culture that embraces lifelong learning and intellectual curiosity.

I began as a junior trader in 2008 before moving into a strategy development role that I held until 2010. From 2010 to 2013 I was the senior high-frequency trader, heading a small team focused on cross boarder arbitrage. In 2013 I became the head global macro trader where I continued to direct trading activities and risk management across an international team operating 23 hours a day throughout Asia, Europe, and the United States.

I began at BlueScope Steel as a graduate engineer before being promoted into an specialised Automation Engineering position. This role focused on increasing plant automation and output whilst decreasing downtime. My core responsibility was project management, with a focus on improved supervisory systems and plant safety.

In 2005 I opened my own business, Savage Computer Consulting, which specialised in data analytics throughout not-for-profit and Government sectors. Clients included local Government councils and various volunteering services.

Between 2004 and 2005 I was employed by Wollongong City council to improve the storage and analytics capabilities of their community survey data, with a focus on improved social outcomes.
