The mindset behind the engineering.
Operating at the core of enterprise banking.
As an SRE and Observability Engineer within ANZ Bank's Payments Observability team, I design and automate high-availability monitoring pipelines for mission-critical banking workloads handling substantial transaction volumes daily.
My technical domain spans multi-cloud telemetry (AWS & GCP), automated alerting in Terraform, and deep instrumentation with New Relic, Splunk, and Dynatrace. But what sustains high performance in high-stakes environments is the perspective gained outside of work.
Life Beyond the Terminal
How marine depths, celestial long exposures, and alpine overlanding fuel technical focus and clarity.
PADI Advanced Open Water Diver
Certified to 30m · Deep Reef & Drift Diving
Beneath 20 to 30 meters of ocean, silence is total and situational awareness is everything. Diving has taught me deep physiological composure, disciplined pre-dive buddy checks, and air consumption monitoring in high-pressure, zero-error environments.
Landscape & Astrophotography
Dark Sky Expeditions · Golden Hour Framing
Capturing the galactic core across regional Victoria's darkest reserves demands deliberate patience, precise optical alignment, and an appreciation for fleeting natural light. It is the art of extracting signal from pure cosmic noise.
Road Trips & Overlanding
Victorian Coastlines · Alpine High Country
From carving through the Great Ocean Road coastal bends to remote tracks across the Victorian Alps and Grampians, long overland journeys provide the ultimate cognitive reset outside mobile reception.
