About

Safiery is an Australian technology company creating “missing link” products and integrating them into power electronic eco-systems along with lithium batteries for the mobile environment. “Safiery wants people and businesses to travel on land or water without a genset.” Having seen the transformation of the airconditioning and power distribution business in commercial buildings from when Honeywell was dominant to the open and wireless systems today, the same transition will occur for power and energy systems in the marine and rv market. I am ready for that with a "power at the edge" ecosystem and AI integrated into the wireless open protocol network. I can see the future in 20 years time and am determined to be the first to get there. To really understand the AI space, Ive just written my first Jupyter training model for AI in marine electronics. I hadn't coded for 30 years. The result was not what i expected but gave me practical insight for the role of AI in edge control systems. Disruptive innovation is my wheelhouse. Combine with Solid State Lithium batteries with advanced BMS design and you have a technology powder keg. Exciting, challenging and fast moving.

Kimberley manufacture specialised recreational vehicles, caravans and camper trailers for travel off road. Their unique design features allow independence with sustainable energy, reclaimable water, and compact profiles for low fuel consumption.
I designed and developed the Kimberley Karavan in 2005. The first true hybrid with a slide-out in Australia. We introduced the first Lithium batteries in 2011. That started our journey on modern electrification. Then I designed and developed the Kimberley Kruiser across all three platforms. It was the lightest off-road caravan in its class. Finally I developed the new Waterless Toilet.
