I was a Microsoft MVP from 2011 - 2019 (eight years in the program) awarded in the area of Exchange Server under MVP ID 4030584 (one of three in Australia). During this time I had an absolute blast, met some of the smartest people both fellow MVPs and Microsoft employees, made relationships with some key members on the Microsoft product teams and life long friends/associates. During my time in the program I attended the yearly MVP summit in Seattle (Redmond) and an MVP Summit in Hybrabad India which was an amazing experience.The Microsoft MVP program gave me a great understanding of how the product teams come together at Microsoft to develop the software we love today, as well as a platform to provide a voice to provide my technical insight into features/functionality being developed into the products at Microsoft. All Microsoft MVPs are under NDA by Microsoft being exposed to confidential information around product development prior to release.I was absolutely stoked being awarded a Microsoft MVP in Exchange Server eight years in a row and having moved on from this program and reduced the amount of blog posts I release, I have nothing for respect for people in the Microsoft MVP program. Microsoft MVPs report bugs to Microsoft, Write detailed in-depth blogs on how to use Microsoft technologies, Speak at conferences, contribute valued feedback to the product teams through regular PGI meetings, but most importantly, they make Technology better for the rest of us.

I started 4Logic in 2011 alongside three other IT consultants each of us holding equal private shares in the business. During my time at 4Logic I worked extremely hard in building the business up from nothing and worked on some great projects as the primary on the ground engineer.- Multiple Exchange 2010 design and implementation projects ranging from single server to multi-site clustered Exchange 2010 clusters supporting thousands of users, multiple DAG's and CAS Arrays.- Hybrid Exchange 2010 implementation's with Office 365 allowing seemless co-existance between on-premises and the cloud ranging up to 5,000 users.- Active Directory architecture design, multi forest and multi domain.- Produce commercial contracts and proposals for managed services and project implementation works.Produce detailed design documentation and As-Builts.- Oversee, mentor and train our first few employees that we took on after starting the company.

I have been maintaining 4PlayGames Internet café's for a while as a project outside of my primary job. I built their entire network and recently setup a new store in Dunsborough. They have two Debian servers running DNS, DHCP, Squid proxy, OpenVPN and IP Tables for all their routing at each shop, with load balanced ADSL for redundancy. I maintain both shops remotely using SSH tunnels, and only visit the shops once in a blue moon to replace failed hardware. PC’s are imaged using Symantec ghost network broadcasting, and run on first boot logon script I made sets all the CD keys and the PC name. I love working for 4PlayGames because it keeps me in touch with Linux, seeming I work in a Microsoft environment all day ever day.

formally ComputerCORP. At Synergy I have implemented multiple Exchange 2010 projects, with clustered Database Availability Group back ends and Client Access Array front ends. I also have spent time improving my public speaking skills appearing at Microsoft seminars, providing IT Professionals and IT Managers an insight into many of Microsoft's core products from both a technical and marketing standpoint. Learning the public speaking side, I have to say was a challenge at first coming from a propeller head technical project delivery background.

During my time at ComputerCORP I took on the role as a senior Microsoft specialist acting as an escalation point for other engineers. I worked on a number of projects both architectural and engineering such as active directory logical topology design, public key infrastructure and radius implementations for roaming wireless hotspots with WPA2 EAP-TSL authentication, exchange 2007 enterprise implementations, and domain over hall and rebuild projects.ComputerCORP merged with Synergy Plus changing their name.

L7 employed me as a Systems Engineer in their Integrations department. I worked on a number of projects remotely setting up active directory and exchange infrastructures as well as migration of existing infrastructures using tools such as the Active Directory Migration Tool. I also used Identity Integration Server for cross-forest exchange 2003 for one of my projects which was a fantastic learning curve. I finished up with L7 due to lack of projects coming through their pipeline, however they were a great company and I had a fantastic time working for them.
