Meet the CompareUs authors

CompareUs author pages explain who researches our electricity, gas and internet content, what topics they focus on, and which guides they have written.

Cyrus Rodrigues

Energy and EV Content Researcher

Cyrus Rodrigues writes about home energy usage, bill analysis and emerging household topics such as EV charging costs. His articles focus on helping readers understand the assumptions behind calculators, benchmarks and plan comparisons before they act on them. He reviews supporting source material and uses a cautious editorial standard when current rates or plan details are likely to vary by postcode, distributor or tariff structure. Cyrus aims to make complex energy topics easier to assess without oversimplifying them.

Donnovan Lopes

Utility Comparison Writer

Donnovan Lopes covers practical utility decision-making for renters, apartment households and people comparing essential services under tighter budgets. His content focuses on the details that tend to matter most during plan changes, including contract terms, billing patterns and service fit. He writes with a comparison-first approach and checks source material before publishing so readers can understand what to verify themselves. Donnovan’s work aims to reduce confusion without overstating savings or plan suitability.

Joel Lopes

Energy Specialist

Joel Lopes writes about electricity pricing, switching strategy and household energy costs for CompareUs. His work focuses on how tariff structures, retailer discounts and usage habits affect real bills for Australian households. He concentrates on practical comparisons that help readers move from plan research to action. Joel reviews retailer websites, published plan documents and regulator material before articles go live, with a focus on clear, defensible guidance rather than marketing claims.

Lorelai Dsouza

Lorelai Dsouza researches household energy pricing, state-based retailer availability and plan structure changes across the National Electricity Market. She writes comparison content that explains where postcode, distributor and usage patterns can materially change the value of an offer.

Her articles are built around current public source documents, retailer plan details and comparison methodology designed for Australian households.

Sancia Pereira

Sancia focuses on practical decision frameworks rather than broad unsupported claims about value.
