About


Hello.

I’m a results-oriented Geophysicist, data scientist, and product manager with experience influencing leadership decisions on the planning and execution of over $200 million dollar annual development budgets. My strengths include data analysis, communication, re-engineering processes leveraging machine learning, technical product development, and presenting to varied audiences including executive leadership. I excel at data-informed decision-making, exploration, development, risk assessments, and business model innovation. I’m interested in exploring for opportunities, systems of value creation, and the benefits of economic strength on society. I operate best with an objective, autonomy, and flexibility. I enjoy working with engaged teams on novel solutions to business and technical challenges.

Why Your Kids Buy Digital Goods in Virtual WorldsBusiness Models of the Metaverse


Thinking about the Metaverse as shared experiences with digital identity and its derivates will provide you with greater interpretive and predictive power for where we are today and where we're headed.The likelihood that we participate in one shared VR experience is as likely as our desire to play the same sports, listen to the same music or live in the same area. Experiences and communities will be transitory, but the infrastructure, tooling, and platforms that enable them are enduring, valuable, and being built today.

Enterprise Digital Transformation


Presentation: Enterprise digital transformation - new business models through systems and platforms.

Observations of the top-performing public and private companies highlight the power of platforms and the business models they enable.This presentation looks at how companies can leverage their observations of recurring frustrations. Three important shifts in thinking are necessary to build systems, link systems together to form a platform, and expose that platform externally to create value for 3rd parties who will become users on your platform.

Machine Learning solutions improving on traditional analysis


Built machine learning solution to materially reduce the time, energy and technical labour required to analyze well logs to reach decision point on abandonments or recompletion.Working collaboratively with local and remote teams to build deep-learning solutions for seismic interpretation workflows. We are at the inflexion point of the next step change in value extraction and speed for exploration. Images: Machine learning applied to public domain logs, visual sample.

Natural Gas Development


Worked with a small team to deliver 36 horizontal natural gas wells flowing 9,030 boe/d. Technical lead responsible for seismic data aquisition, processing, analysis and interpretation for investment and operations decisions.Experienced in delivering reserves and production growth through integration of seismic attributes and inervsion products into well planning and play mapping.Enjoyed accelerated growth with budget doubling every year for 3 years. Currently flowing 52.4mmcf/d with cumulative production of 3.05mmboe.

Offshore Newfoundland - Bay du Nord Exploration and Appraisal


Technical lead, opportunity generation, analysis and predictive interpretation for offshore exploration and drilling programs within the Flemish Pass basin, offshore Newfoundland.Delivered analysis and interpretation to identify and evaluate opportunities to determine the risked value of 2015 licenses which received work commitments of 1.2 billion dollars. Responsible for influencing partner decisions and reporting on 2016 offshore drilling program.


CO2 Storage - Analysis of fracturing intensity for insights on seal integrity


Developed inverse problem solving program in Matlab using least squares regression to detect and map anisotropy in caprock using acoustic reflection data.Interpreted and visualized results to provide recommendations on CO2 sequestration and storage project risks related to the sealing unit and presence of natural fractures.

Body Keypoint Detection

Mike owns and operates MyStrengthBook.com a fully remote team developing a strength training and coaching platform.When working with athletes remotely, coaches and trainers often review client videos and provide instruction. Feedback comes in the form of markup analysis of the videos (drawing lines manually).We collaborated on the possibility of providing real-time feedback to both coaches and athletes with quantitative measurements directly from videos athletes or clients could record themselves.
