Field notes

Places where I worked and what I saw. Not travel. Operations.

Papua New Guinea

Laikim PNG · Enga Province

We were not building a tourism website. We were building trust between people who had every reason to be cautious. The technology was easy. The relationships were the work.

Track record

Germany

The operational discipline impressed me. The lesson was not efficiency — it was consistency.

Japan

Precision was not a goal. It was a habit.

Professional sport

Newcastle Knights & Jets

CTO (2011–2014) — first brought in to restructure around modern ICT and business systems. Knights privatisation period. Public scrutiny, fixed seasons, lean corporate teams.

Track record

Engineering & manufacturing

Factory floors, construction sites, building things that either worked or failed in plain sight.
