Association of Enterprise Architects, Melbourne, Australia Chapter is a local Chapter of the Association of Enterprise Architects (AEA). AEA is the definitive professional association for Enterprise Architects. The chapter primarily serves as a networking forum which offers the opportunity for enterprise architects to share issues, concerns, thoughts and professional experiences while discussing new, emerging trends related to the profession.

As an AWS subject matter expert, I contribute towards the development of AWS certification exams by participating in exam development workshops.

The AWS Community Builders program is a program offering technical resources, mentorship, and networking opportunities to AWS technical enthusiasts and emerging thought leaders on the platform.

In the Make Reality Challenge, participating teams must think about problems in the sub themes related to the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), in the format of a hackathon.

As a judge for the PMI Make Reality Hackathon, I receive the submissions of select participants and assess them, giving them an overall score in the process. This has been a very exciting opportunity for me to give back towards the project management community, as it has been fascinating to see all the ideas that people are passionate about and how they will go about implementing them.

As an assessor for practice exam questions, I, along with a group of other subject matter experts, contribute our expertise to evaluating given questions that are made that would be used within the PMP’s official practice exam question set. We provide our opinions for each question in terms of if we believe its good to go or provide constructive feedback if we would like it further worked on before being used within the question set.

In the thousands of IEEE conferences that have happened/are happening around the world, the Technical Program Committee (TPC) conducts reviews of different submitted papers and gives a recommendation of acceptance/rejection based on their reviews.

As a reviewer of the IEEE in numerous conferences’ technical program committees, my responsibilities include providing feedback to community questions for submissions towards the IEEE Journals and giving an overall recommendation to accept or reject the paper. I specialize in reviewing papers related to Smart Cities, Internet of Things, Machine Learning and other similarly related areas

AISA aims for the development of a robust information security sector within the Australian landscape by building the capacity of professionals and advance the safety of cyber security and safety for the general public.

It has been a great opportunity for me to network and provide my own feedback on certain things currently going around in the space.
