From Subsurface Ground Surveying to Airborne Remote Sensing.

I am a Geophysics Spectral Technician and Geospatial Data Specialist. My career was built on the front lines of the mining and exploration sector, beginning as a Geophysics Field Engineer for a global mining industry leader. After years of generating hard scientific data on the ground, I now engineer and deploy custom survey drones and sensors to acquire that same level of precision data from the air or ground at scale.

Starting my career as a Geophysical Field Engineer, I executed complex well-logging programs across several active mine sites. Working directly alongside drill crews and geologists, I conducted critical ground-level surveys including density testing utilizing Co-60, magnetic susceptibility, optical assessments, gamma, and gyroscope surveys to acquire and process robust structural and subsurface data.

After taking an interest in the science I later advanced into the role of Geophysics Spectral Technician, my focus shifted to the precise physical analysis of minerals and the deeper interpretation of mineralogical data. Utilizing advanced spectroscopy and SWIR/TIR/VNIR spectral scanning systems, I specialized in both data pipeline management and the rigorous maintenance and calibration of highly sensitive instruments, frequently collaborating with expert scientists, state government geological survey departments, and CSIRO scientific researchers.

Beyond my foundation in geophysics, my connection to the agricultural sector is both personal and deeply practical. Coming from a historical line of farmers, I have a lifelong investment in agronomy. I actively apply this ground-level knowledge today, co-managing a plant nursery in Katanning, Western Australia. This firsthand experience with planting, soil preparation, and irrigation infrastructure allows me to approach agricultural remote sensing not just as a data technician, but as someone who intuitively understands the operational realities of crop health and land management.

The data I deliver is only as useful as the instrumentation and technicians behind it. I leverage my background in terrestrial geophysics and agriculture to develop radiometric and multispectral platforms. By pairing expert sensors with precision flight controllers, I bridge the gap between scientific ground truth and highly efficient data acquisition for the geophysical exploration and agricultural sectors.

Whether you have a specific project in mind, a technical question about our sensor payloads, or just want to chat about how remote sensing could work for your operation, I’m always happy to talk.
