Perth, Western Australia
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Dinneen is a Senior Vice President of Engineering based in Perth with nine years in technology leadership and a deep technical pedigree in petroleum engineering and geophysics. He combines hands-on cloud and data engineering (AWS, serverless, containers), machine learning and Python with extensive experience migrating and modernising large seismic and reservoir datasets at scale. At Tape Ark he progressed from Senior Data Scientist to leading software development and now heads engineering, driving tape-to-cloud migrations, automation and infrastructure-as-code practices. His background includes architecting reservoir surveillance platforms, two-way simulator coupling and transferring 300+TB of seismic data—work that blends domain science with production software. An active contributor to scientific open-source (helping clarify Devito’s finite-difference examples), he brings both research rigour and pragmatic DevOps discipline. Colleagues rely on him for bridging complex subsurface problems and robust, auditable cloud systems.
