About

This site is an evolving exploration of technology, data, government, and ideas that don't always fit neatly into a single box.

Some posts may dive into AI experiments, others into historical analogies, and some may simply be open questions for further thought. If you’re curious about the intersections of technology, government, and society, you might find something interesting here.

About Stuart

I'm a consultant business analyst working in health and the broader public sector.

I began my career as a psychologist but reskilled to code back-end data solutions before moving into business analysis.

My career has had some interesting side journeys.

  • I've spent time moonlighting as a computer forensics specialist for New Zealand's largest private investigation company.
  • I've studied regulatory strategy at the Harvard Kenedy School of Government.
  • I've provided senior governance boards with risk and assurance support.
  • I've been a private secretary to a minister of health.

Technology and data is my focus, but these side journeys enable me to bring depth and experience to my analysis.
