MPEP — Monash Pipe Evaluation Platform
Research Assistant & Developer · Mar 2020 – Nov 2021
Designed and developed MPEP, an industry-facing
decision-support platform for assessing pipe failure risk, evaluating pipe
condition, recommending suitable liner technologies, and estimating the
expected service life of rehabilitated pipes.
I contributed to the UI design, full-stack development, testing,
and deployment of the platform to the Water Services Association
of Australia (WSAA) infrastructure. MPEP was a key research translation
deliverable of the Australian Government-funded
CRC-P Smart Linings for Pipe and Infrastructure Project.
Recognition: The Smart Linings project was a
Finalist for the 2021 R&D Excellence Award,
Australian Water Association (Victoria Branch).

Early Warning System (EWS) — Learning Analytics for Student Support
Researcher, Conceptualisation & Developer (v1.0) · 2013 – 2014
Conceptualised and developed the first version of an
Early Warning System (EWS) as part of my Master's research
at the University of the South Pacific. The system used student trace data
to identify early indicators of academic risk and support timely interventions.
The system was subsequently implemented across
16 courses involving 3,500+ students at USP between
2013 and 2016.
Research Impact: The implementation and impact of the
project were subsequently reported in
Studies in Higher Education.
