Brian Dorricott

You know technology is hard? Well, I’m a Senior Technology Engineer with 40 years’ experience extending from bits & bytes to AI & ML. I specialise in making it easy. I’ve seen it all before.

I’m curious, quick and collaborative. I search out the better, cheaper & faster solution. That’s what real Technology Engineers do. When you hire me, you get someone who does. 

In fact, I’m looking for the next scaleup challenge. Know of one? If so, please drop me a line.

In my spare time, I play jazz piano, dance swing, bush bash and am an active member of the Special Emergency Service.

Eternally learning. Eternally impactful. Eternally grateful.

Brian has worked with me now for the last 2.5 years across both his tenure at Telstra Health and then Alcidion. Brian has been an incredible asset to the team, both in terms of his deep expertise in data science, development and architecture, and also in his style and approach to working in a team and supporting those around him.

Without exception, feedback about Brian is always positive, highlighting his skills in explaining complex concepts in a tangible manner, and his willingness to pitch in regardless of the ask. I have learnt so much from him, and know that he will be an asset to all those he works with in the future.

Brian consistently demonstrates a remarkable level of professionalism and competence in his role. He is highly skilled (not limited) in all areas of data analytics, along with staying updated with the latest developments and methodologies in this field.

Beyond his technical abilities, Brian possesses business management skills, this gained via his engagements in both public and private sectors, as well as managing his own businesses. He is a natural collaborator, always willing to assist and share his expertise.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Brian Dorricott for any professional endeavors or opportunities that may come his way.

Douglas Hinds

Program Management Specialist

Brian brought an unparalleled level of expertise and insight to the RMIT: The AI/Data Science Professional class. His in-depth knowledge of AI and data science was evident, and he demonstrated a unique ability to communicate complex concepts in a clear and accessible manner. The real-world examples and practical applications he shared greatly enhanced students’ and my own understanding of the subject matter.

What truly set Brian apart was his passion for the field and his commitment to fostering a deeper understanding of AI and data science among students. The talk was not only informative but also inspiring, leaving a lasting impression on everyone in attendance.

Feng Xia

Professor of Computer Science at RMIT University

As an Executive MBA student at UTS, I was taught by Brian on the topic of start-up structures and IP. I found Brian’s breadth of knowledge, energy and his teaching style to be tremendously motivating and effective. I’ve not come across a more engaging online facilitator. Would highly recommend any opportunities for collaborating with, or being taught by Brian!

Sophie Ritchie

Head of Portfolio Management @ KPMG High Growth Ventures

I have known Brian Dorricott since 2012 in my capacity as President of the Board of Management of Pymble Turramurra Pre-school, of which Brian was Treasurer between 2013-2015.

Brian is very capable and I hold him in high regard. He discharged his duties as Treasurer with consummate professionalism. Brian is dependable and a team player. I thoroughly enjoyed working with him and our team enjoyed increased effectiveness and efficiency as a result of Brian’s contributions to all aspects of administering the pre-school, not just Treasury. Brian contributed to the introduction of a variety of governance initiatives and proactively drove change.

Three words that describe Brian: approachable, assertive, a lateral thinker.
