Roger Butler is a Senior Data Scientist based in Greater Brisbane with a decade-plus career building and scaling machine learning and embedded software across government, startups and industry. He has shipped real‑time hydrology forecasting systems used in Australia and the US, led multi-disciplinary teams at CSIRO Data61 to deploy sensor-driven agricultural and infrastructure products, and managed R&D and IP for medical imaging at Canon. Equally comfortable in cloud architectures, PyTorch/TensorFlow models and low-level C++/embedded stacks, he bridges research and production to deliver measurable impact on patient care and disaster resilience. A pragmatic leader, he has created funding-winning research proposals and patented image-processing algorithms while coaching teams through Agile delivery. Outside the lab he trains at-risk youth as an outdoor instructor, reflecting a strong inclination toward practical community impact.
