I have extensive experience with a whole range of software development, however I mostly specialise in front-end and UI engineering for the web — with some mobile development, full-stack and devops in the mix.
I’ve been running our development company distriqt with my business partner Michael for over ten years. As a director and developer I've gained a lot of experience with all aspects of front-end and back-end development.
I have personally provided development services for direct clients and agencies on a freelance & contract basis, and have also developed excellent project management and client-facing skills.
I worked with Avanade & Accenture leading the front-end development team over 12 months, designing and developing the front-end solution for a modern rebuild of Transurban’s online customer portal for Linkt (https://linkt.com.au).
In addition to writing code, I was also responsible for designing and implementing application architecture solutions, working with back-end developers and UX designers from several other teams, liaising with business stakeholders and management, plus managing and mentoring our frontend development team of up to 6 other developers.
This was a hugely fulfilling experience and we successfully completed our objectives and delivered an exceptional solution, all while working remotely during the COVID restrictions throughout 2020.
Responsibilities & features included:
I was contracted for 15 months as the development lead for this start-up, where I built the front-end platform and web application for a data visualisation and analytics platform.
The application integrates with back-end business systems such as BI4/Microsoft Dynamics Nav/SAP in order to query enormous sets of data and bring it to life in front-end dashboards and visualisations for business users and stakeholders. The entire application is dynamic and customisable by the end-user and is designed to be rolled out for many different customers and use-cases.
Responsibilities & features included:
I developed the entire online comparison interface and online join application system for Members Own Health Funds. This was a challenging project and has matured into a large-scale web application over the last two years.
Responsibilities & features included:
Worked on a four month contract for Data61, developing front-end UI systems for secure data access tools (details under NDA).
Responsibilities included:
Worked on a contract basis for Today, where I was responsible for helping deliver two high-profile Victorian Government websites.
Responsibilities included:
Developed the entire platform for Envelope, an online wedding registry service. I was responsible for system design, API and CMS development, front-end development and server management.
Responsibilities included:
Developed interactive websites, Flash applications and games for many different agency clients in the digital advertising industry.
Worked on UI interface development for PlayStation 2 games, porting XBOX 360 code to run on the PS2.
Developed a range of different products and systems for the company including websites, games and e-Learning portals.
