Where Human Factors meets real-world engineering.

Tools built from the field, not the lab.

ErgoSphere™

Human Factors software, built for real work.

What began in 2022 is now entering its Pilot phase following years of development. ErgoSphere is a Human Factors platform that brings fragmented ergonomics tooling into a single, unified workspace. At its core is HF project management, keeping assessments, findings, and audit trails unified across projects.

The platform spans validated methodologies across physical ergonomics, cognitive workload, task analysis, human reliability, and usability, alongside real-time capabilities including motion capture integration, biomechanical analysis, and physiological monitoring. The built-in plugin architecture also enables practitioners to extend the platform and add on their own custom assessment tools.

The Journey

Human Factors & Systems Engineer | CHFEP | AMIEAust

It started with 3D and game engines - building virtual worlds taught me to think in systems and sparked an obsession with how humans interact with technology. Architectural visualisation introduced me to physical anthropometrics. Then came 10 years in the Royal Australian Air Force, maintaining F/A-18 Hornets on the flightline. That's where I learned the hard truth: human error isn't a character flaw - it's a design problem.

From there, I pursued two Master's degrees, earned CHFEP certification through HFESA, and joined Boeing where I rose to Associate Technical Fellow leading HFE Modeling & Simulation. 3 invention awards. A published patent. $25M+ in verified cost avoidance across major defence programs. I co-founded Human Engineered, and now I'm building ErgoSphere - the tools I wish I'd had from day one.

"Human error is a design problem. I've spent 20 years proving it."
