Alan Murray is a Program Architect and engineering generalist with 11 years of experience translating research-grade ideas into production-ready control and SCADA systems for electricity distribution. Based in the Greater Newcastle area, he leads Ausgrid’s Advanced Distribution Management System program and has a track record of integrating complex automation, monitoring and communications projects across large utility environments. He combines hands-on software and systems engineering—demonstrated by contributions to the open-source DNP3 protocol stack in modern C++—with academic rigour from a PhD in Computer Engineering and a Visiting Scholar role at Berkeley. Alan is comfortable engaging stakeholders from field engineers to senior managers, and he brings a pragmatic flair for simplifying discontiguous, high-precision data problems into robust, maintainable implementations.
