Markets, minerals and machines, explained fast.
Twelve years turning supply chains, policy shifts and market moves into copy that time-poor investors actually finish. Latterly, building the AI-assisted system that got it there roughly 70% faster.

at Azzet alone
An editorial pipeline, not a prompt box.
The clearest example of what he builds, set out the way a hiring manager would want to read it.
Pace without a desk
Azzet needed masthead-grade output at wire-service speed on a small team. Bolting AI onto the drafting step alone speeds up the wrong stage, and puts unverified copy under a real byline.
Faster, and still right
Average idea-to-publish time down roughly 70%, five to ten edited pieces a week, and a documented workflow other journalists on the desk could run themselves.
Signal
Beat monitoring surfaces the story before the wire does.
Research
Primary sources, filings and named analyst commentary.
Draft
Voice-modelled first pass held to masthead house style.
Verify
Every figure, quote and link checked against origin.
Edit
Human line edit for judgement, structure and angle.
Publish
Gutenberg build, headline and metadata, then out.
Measured as average idea-to-publish cycle time across the Azzet desk, with no reduction in named sourcing or fact-checking depth.
Two jobs, one desk.
Most newsrooms have someone who can write and someone who can build the workflow. Cam does both, which is why the copy and the system never drifted apart.
Judgement on the page
Deputy Editor and Senior Business Writer at Azzet until August 2026, running a beat that spanned critical minerals, United States politics and technology.

Machinery behind it
Designed and ran the AI-assisted editorial system end to end, without ever handing the byline to a machine.

Six beats that behave as one story.
They look separate on a masthead menu. Follow the metal, the money and the policy and they are the same argument told from different ends.
Critical minerals
Rare earths, copper, antimony and lithium. Supply constraint, export control and the scramble to replace it.
U.S. politics & trade
Tariffs, Section 232, sanctions and the executive orders that reprice a commodity overnight.
Semis & AI build-out
Memory cycles, fab capacity and the capital supercycle funding data centre expansion.
Resources equities
ASX juniors, drill results and the M&A that turns an explorer into a producer.
Energy transition
Batteries, EV policy, grid economics and where the subsidy actually lands.
Markets & capital flow
Listings, sovereign funds and where growth capital chooses to go instead.
Clips.
Four pieces chosen to show the range, with the reason each one is here.
Mission Critical: Concerns trump copper Resolution
Federal judges blocked the land transfer behind a mine that could supply a quarter of United States copper demand for four decades. Written to show why a court ruling is a supply story.
ReadMission Critical: Too late for Trump's EV law repeals?
A policy piece argued from the capital already committed rather than the announcement, which is the harder read and the more useful one for anyone holding the stock.
ReadBlinkers off: Every ASX junior with a horse in the West's antimony race
A full sector map of every listed junior with antimony exposure, assembled as China's export controls repriced a metal most investors had never held a view on.
ReadMDMA and magic mushrooms have arrived
Long-form well outside the resources beat, on Australia becoming the first country to let psychiatrists prescribe MDMA and psilocybin. Proof the reporting travels.

Resources and markets throughout, with a detour into blockchain energy that taught him how to write for engineers as well as investors.
