Economics, Research, and Data Analysis for Social Impact

I’m an economist, researcher, and data specialist working at the intersection of economic insight, technical systems, and social impact. For about a decade, I’ve helped nonprofits and for‑purpose organisations, advocacy institutions, and public organisations with research, systems, and strategic insight, most recently as a macroeconomics and research mentor at the National Reserve Bank of Tonga.

Economic Analysis

Research and publications on the world rate of profit, labour issues, and theories of capital accumulation — including peer‑reviewed work such as The Powers of Australian Retail Workers and my doctoral thesis Analysing the World Rate of Profit: A New Approach. My work combines historical data analysis with political economy frameworks to illuminate long‑term economic dynamics.


Portfolio

A selection of projects spanning economic research, data systems architecture, geotechnical research, and applied analytics — from analysing global profitability trends to numerical simulaiton of geotechnical phenomena, developing offline‑first CRMs, and delivering strategic reporting for mission‑driven organisations.


Collaborate

Through Dianoetic, I partner with organisations on research and data strategy projects. My work includes supporting not‑for‑profits with database management, research, data analysis, and improving reporting processes. These collaborations focus on building practical data solutions and producing clear, actionable insights that strengthen decision‑making and impact.


Let’s Connect

If you’re looking for economic insight, data analysis, or systems thinking that aligns with a mission for equitable futures, I’d be glad to talk.
