About

To err is human, and I have undoubted, perhaps even unparalleled, first-hand experience in erring! But don't we all? And shouldn't the systems we interact with every day - at work, home, or elsewhere - be designed to accommodate this fundamental truth? This core belief fuels my passion for Human Factors (HF) and Digital Human Engineering. I'm a Systems Engineer who specialises in developing innovative digital tools designed to address complex, real-world Human Factors challenges. Over the years, I've invented multiple solutions in this space, earning several Invention Awards and securing multiple patents. I'm also the creator behind ErgoBytes, where I explore diverse HF topics in, what I hope is, an easy-to-understand and engaging format - sharing ideas, experience, and helping promote greater understanding across the HF and broader Safety communities. A big fan of collaborating with businesses and professionals to uncover unique HF challenges and create tailored, effective solutions. Believe it or not, I also actually enjoy the compliance space - ensuring assured assurance! I'm genuinely passionate about building a strong global community of Human Factors and safety professionals - connecting, sharing knowledge, and collectively enhancing how humans and systems interact. Let's build better systems - and keep the focus Human!
