I’m a consulting systems engineer living and working in Sydney specializing in application and telecommunications technologies with a strong background in open source platforms such as Linux.
In my regular work I consult with customers to determine requirements and build solution designs, before working with them (or their vendors) at a technical hands-on level to implement and document robust enterprise-grade solutions.
My commercial experience includes running Amberdms, a New Zealand software startup for around 2 years, as well as 4 years experience working at Prophecy Networks, a medium sized IT consultancy company specializing in telecommunications and software engineering experts.
In my free time, I tend to hack on fun software projects (see my own projects here), write about geeky topics, sometimes I write about traveling and sometimes I even write about going outside, a clearly shocking act for someone who spends 12+ hours a day infront of a computer screen. O_o
I originate from Wellington (the capital city of New Zealand), and spent a year living in Auckland (the largest city in New Zealand) before moving to Sydney (the largest city in Australia) in late 2012 for a period of “OE” (Kiwism for Overseas Education – the act of spending time living internationally to gain a better world perspective).
I’m particularly passionate about Open Source software (especially the Linux world), I often discuss vegetarianism (having been vegetarian since 2007) and like many geeks, have opinions in many other areas as well.
If you wish to contact me, there are numerous methods listed here.
