I’ve spent more than 16 years helping organisations across Australia hire exceptional technology talent. Before founding ParkTrail, I led Data & Analytics recruitment across Asia Pacific at EY, where I helped grow the practice from 85 to more than 475 professionals.
Since then, I’ve partnered with consulting firms, enterprise organisations and technology companies to build high-performing teams across some of Australia’s most significant data transformation programs.
Today, my focus is Modern Data Engineering. I specialise in recruiting Data Engineers, Data Architects and Engineering Leaders across Snowflake, Databricks, AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, dbt and the modern data stack.
Whether it’s finding a specialist contractor for a critical project or building an entire engineering team, my approach is built on long-term relationships, deep market knowledge and understanding the technology well enough to identify the right people — not just the right keywords.
If you’re building a modern data platform or planning your next engineering hire, I’d love to help.
