Profile

I am a data scientist and researcher developing transparent and explainable analytical systems for real-world data, and a current PhD applicant focused on wearable data validation and economic attribution.

My academic background includes Business Computing at the University of Westminster in the UK, an MBA in Information Technology from the University of São Paulo, and postgraduate research with distinction in International Business Analytics at the University of Sydney.

Over nearly two decades working across financial systems, cybersecurity, enterprise analytics, and data engineering, my research interests gradually shifted toward understanding how wearable data is produced, validated, and interpreted in real-world environments.

Alongside this trajectory, my experience as an Ironman athlete provided sustained exposure to wearable technologies in high-performance settings. Continuous recording of physiological and movement data across training and competition created a practical foundation for understanding how wearable data behaves under real-world conditions, shaping the early direction of my research into validation and data integrity.

My current work focuses on the development of a research framework called Wearonomics, which validates wearable-derived data through transparent, rule-based analytical systems and links verified activity to economic attribution models. The underlying hypothesis is that combining transparent validation with incentive mechanisms may increase consistent device use, resulting in more reliable longitudinal data for public health research.

Ocean Conservation & Field Photography

Alongside my research work, my family and I maintain a long-standing commitment to ocean conservation and environmental protection. We support and collaborate with organisations working to protect marine ecosystems and address ocean pollution, including Sea Shepherd, The Ocean Cleanup, the Great Barrier Reef Foundation, and Surfers for Climate.

This section presents a photographic gallery captured during travels and field observations around the world. The images document coastal environments, wildlife, and landscapes encountered along the way, reflecting an ongoing curiosity about the natural world and the environments that continue to inform both my research perspective and conservation efforts.
