Engineer. Army officer. Quasi-regimented.#
Dougie joined us in the 3Ai Masters program as a serving member of the Australian Defence Force (ADF). A graduate of the Australian Command and Staff College, Dougie also holds a Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical) (Honours), a Master of Project Management, and a Master of Military and Defence Studies.
Dougie’s breadth of experience in the Army has given him foundational skills and knowledge in tactical, operational and strategic level communications and information systems. Dougie represented 3Ai when Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella came to visit – showcasing how Ngarrindjeri weaving can lead us to think differently about the computational networks we are building. Be sure to ask Dougie how he ‘hacked’ his own cyber-physical locker at the institute!
Dougie is now applying and instilling his learnings and experience at 3Ai within the ADF’s Force Design Division, and from 2021, the Defence AI and Technology Acceleration Centre.
