I’m Dane — an Analytics Emerging Solutions Engineer at Salesforce, focused on the SMB segment across Australia & New Zealand. I partner with account teams to walk small-to-mid sized businesses through Tableau, CRM Analytics, Data Cloud, and Agentforce — from discovery through to demonstration.
Analytics-first solutions engineering — translating models, dashboards, and AI agents into the customer narrative that closes the deal.
Hi — I’m Dane. I graduated from UTS with First Class Honours in Computing Science (AI & Data Analytics major, WAM 82.47, GPA 6.22) and now sit on the Analytics solution-engineering team at Salesforce, focused on the SMB segment across Australia & New Zealand.
Day-to-day I partner with account teams to walk small-to-mid sized businesses through Tableau, Tableau Pulse, CRM Analytics, Data Cloud 360, and Agentforce — from discovery through to demonstration. A CRMA demo in my first quarter contributed to a closed deal, and cross-cloud Marketing Cloud sessions have tied directly into customer retention outcomes. I’ve represented Salesforce at Agentforce World Tour, facilitated Tableau Pulse customer workshops, and co-run internal enablement to upskill the team.
Before Salesforce I was a Data Analyst Intern at Swoop Funding Australia, where I cleaned a thousand-deal product taxonomy and lifted marketplace match-rate 10×. Before that I shipped a YOLOv8 + ByteTrack vision pipeline as my honours thesis and contributed to a peer-reviewed paper on renewable-energy site selection.
What I care about is the work between the model and the meeting — classical ML on one side, agentic AI and prompt design on the other, and a Tableau-led customer story that ties the whole thing together. Off the clock: badminton, basketball, fitness, gaming, books, and a slowly-improving darts average.

Six projects across solution-engineering demos, research, coursework, and side-quests — each one a small case study in turning raw data into a decision.
Real-time multi-object detection with YOLOv8n stitched to ByteTrack — the project that earned the First Class Honours. A study in fast iteration on a tight academic clock.
MATLAB CV system that flags road defects from dashcam footage — built as a teaching exercise in object-detection from scratch.
Contributed to a peer-reviewed paper on clustering algorithms for optimal renewable energy site selection in rural Australia — published in Energy Conversion and Management: X, V.25, January 2025.
Built informative dashboards in Tableau and Excel to analyse global COVID-19 trends across multiple data sources — case loads, recoveries, and per-region pacing — into views non-technical readers could read at a glance.
Interactive Tableau dashboard mapping public-transport equity across Greater Sydney — joining GTFS + Opal aggregates with ABS SEIFA to surface the suburbs the timetable forgot.
A solo-built MVP: snap your fridge, get three recipes you can actually cook tonight. Funnel-instrumented from day one — analytics brain wearing a startup hat.
If you’re evaluating Salesforce Analytics, want to swap notes on Tableau Pulse / CRMA / Agentforce, or just want to talk demo craft — the inbox is open.
I help customers see CRM Analytics, Tableau Pulse, Data Cloud 360, and Agentforce in the context of their own data — from discovery through to demo.
