I received the prestigious Australian ICT Professional of the Year 2022 award from ACS (Australian Computer Society) for contributing to Artificial Intelligence (AI) ethics and governance.
I am helping businesses create trustworthy, customer-centric, secure, and sustainable solutions leveraging AI capabilities. My solutions transform not only technology but also people, processes and cultures. Diversity, equity and inclusion are at my heart when I support businesses to enhance productivity, customer experience, brand advocacy, and make a social impact. I am a technology-agnostic and culturally aware business leader who can provide optimum solutions to your businesses, taking you through smooth AI transformation with trusted industry 4.0-ready solutions.
I am an Advisory Council Member of Harvard Business Review (HBR), an Expert in AI ethics and governance at Global AI Ethics Institute, a senior member of IEEE (SMIEEE), an industry Mentor in the UNSW business school, an honorary visiting scholar at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), and a graduate member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors (GAICD).

Unifying matter, energy and consciousness
American Institute of Physics
We modelled consciousness to explain how it interfaces with the brain and interacts with matter and energy. As per the model, consciousness is a fundamental law of nature and life or reality. Based on the theory of relativity and quantum physics, we modelled the interplay of consciousness, matter, and energy, creating reality. This unification model of consciousness, matter and energy explains how consciousness adheres to determinism, realism, and physicalism as a fundamental law of nature and…
We modelled consciousness to explain how it interfaces with the brain and interacts with matter and energy. As per the model, consciousness is a fundamental law of nature and life or reality. Based on the theory of relativity and quantum physics, we modelled the interplay of consciousness, matter, and energy, creating reality. This unification model of consciousness, matter and energy explains how consciousness adheres to determinism, realism, and physicalism as a fundamental law of nature and reality. It helps us to be aware and accept the existence of consciousness-based complex constructs and systems beyond our sensory observation.
