About Qski

Tell me more?

Hi, I’m Q

I created Qski.com.au in 2021 to showcase personal visual design work, it has evolved to a portfolio site for my work in data and analytics as well as side quests in my life.

I’m a senior technical product and data architecture leader with over 15 years of experience owning and delivering production data platforms in highly regulated, high-consequence environments. My work has focused on building systems where correctness, auditability, and timeliness directly impact funding allocation, revenue inflows, and executive and regulatory accountability.

I’ve operated in CTO-equivalent technical ownership roles across education, healthcare, emergency services, and commercial organisations, with responsibility for architecture, design decisions, and delivery of foundational data products and AI-enabled systems. I specialise in translating complex policy, analytics, science, and operational requirements into scalable, decision-ready platforms that deliver real-world outcomes.
