‍I am a published author, inventor, lecturer, and Closed Circuit Television specialist based in Adelaide, South Australia, with more than four decades of professional experience in the industry. 

‍I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Electronic Engineering, specialising in cameras, and have spent my career at the forefront of imaging technology — consulting, designing, teaching, and innovating on projects around the world.

‍I currently serve as Product Innovation Manager at theOpticIQ Lab, a division of Optic Security Group, where I conduct advanced camera testing, evaluate AI-based video analytics, and develop intelligent imaging solutions that push the boundaries of what's possible in the field. 

‍I founded and ranViDi Labs(vidilabs.com), a globally recognised name through which I provided system design, product testing, training, and specialist advice to clients worldwide.

‍I am the author of five internationally respected reference books on CCTV. 

‍My most recent title,From Light to Intelligent Pixels, published by ASIAL, follows a tradition of works that have been adopted by universities and higher education institutions around the world as definitive resources for the industry. In my seminars and training programs — built around my books — I take pride in making complex technology understandable. I use a clear, accessible approach supported by my own original illustrations, videos, images, and specialist drawings, always encouraging discussion and Q&A to enrich the learning experience.

‍I have been deeply involved in shaping industry standards at both national and international levels. I chaired the development of the Australian CCTV standardsAS 4806 series(2003–2006), and have worked closely with the IEC's Working Group 12 on the internationalIEC 62676Digital CCTV Standards — with the latest update of IEC 62676-4 (2025) being significantly developed from my work.

‍Throughout my career I have developed numerous innovative products for the industry. It began with the very first CCTV test chart, featured on the back of my debut book in 1994, followed with the Programmable Test Pattern Generator, the ViDi Labs Calculator app for iOS and Android, and a camera image analysis software platform based on my ViDiLabs Test Chart v.5 — enabling objective, IEC 62676-5-compliant camera evaluation. 

‍In 2023 I was honoured by ASIAL with the Australian Security Industry Awards for excellence for my lifetime contribution to the industry.

‍I am proud that my inventions, books, and standards work have helped shape a more professional and capable industry globally.
