Why Data Mastery?

With over 20 years of experience working on major projects across the Australian government, I’ve witnessed the immense value of collaboration and knowledge-sharing in driving innovation. Throughout my career as a Delivery Manager, Project Manager, and Product Owner, I’ve seen how bringing the right minds together can transform challenges into opportunities. Data Mastery is born out of a desire to not only share my own insights but also to create a platform where Canberra’s tech experts can connect, collaborate, and amplify their voices. My goal is to foster a vibrant community where we can all learn from one another and contribute to shaping the future of technology.
