I'm someone who continually demonstrates that he can build real systems and make them work, starting from scratch; someone with the vision required to steer the ship, and with the attention to detail required to make plans happen. I'm happy working on my own or leading/mentoring, but happiest working with an amazing team.I founded Metamako, a company building and selling network hardware, and the software to run them. Manufactured in Australia, these devices were the world's fastest, quickly transforming the way financial networks are built worldwide. With clients including the ASX and Eurex, as well as most of the world's top trading firms, I feel like we "won". The company grew to 60 people, and I was responsible for all things technical including inception and delivery of our world class technology. I was also one of three board members. We were acquired by Silicon Valley-based Arista Networks in 2018, and continue to deliver value and to truly innovate in networking technology. Specialties: Systems architecture, embedded systems implementation, financial market latency optimisation, operating systems, circuit board design, FPGA based systems, system optimisation, algorithmic trading systems latency optimisation, asm, C, C++, Python, solar power systems, mechanical systems, project management, startup businesses, mentoring

Director, EngineeringArista Networks Sep 2018 - Sep 2023Santa Clara, California, UsArista Networks acquired Metamako in September, 2018, and with it I've joined the team to continue our work building the best possible network products for the finance industry and beyond. -
Founder, Cto, Board MemberMetamako May 2013 - Sep 2018Sydney, Nsw, AuI co-founded Metamako in May 2013. Since then, the team have built a portfolio of industry-leading products in the networking space, dominating the latency-sensitive trading space. They include MetaConnect (a high-performance layer 1 switch), MetaMux (a flexible hybrid layer 1 and FPGA enabled switch) and MetaApp (a similar platform more targetted toward flexible FPGA-based application deployment).Metamako has revolutionised "state-of-the-art" in financial networks. My contribution spans a wide variety of roles across the company, from team leadership through to product architecture through to business process development through to supply chain planning IT and sales. Together with the team, Metamako grew into a dominant player in the low latency networking space, and was acquired by Arista Networks in September, 2018. -
PrincipalZeptonics Apr 2011 - Feb 2013Zeptonics was a small startup working on some exciting financial technology. I first worked designing and developing two hardware products -- ZeptoMux and ZeptoLink -- from the ground up starting with the EDA libraries, moving through schematic design, guiding the layout and mechanical design, software design, logic and through to production management and sales. The ZeptoMux is an FPGA-based device and acted as the lowest-latency 10G network switch at the time of introduction (130 ns). The ZeptoLink was the world's fastest method of dynamically mapping ports to one another (including one to many) with a 5 ns latency. I managed a team of people who have developed the software, tested and productised the device. I have worked on various other systems in the Zeptonics portfolio, including FPGA-based systems, hybrid hardware-software solutions, and performance-oriented software. All of these have had HFT and other finance applications and made a significant difference to our customers' performance/revenue.
