When I showed my partner the ad for this role, she said "You have to get that job, I want a staff discount". So I did. And she did.I'm having the most wonderful time building the in-house engineering department at Bared Footwear, having taken over from the wonderful people at DotDev. Personal highlights include:🙋 Implementation of agile ways of working and.

To an ageing goth/metalhead, this was the ideal job. Head of Engineering at a funeral company! Death tech! Unfortunately due to a pivot in technology stack I decided to handover to someone else with more experience in that area and move on.And before you ask: No, I can't get you a discount on a funeral anymore.

After spending 6 years in the world of advertising, my engineering skills were a bit rough around the edges. I'd always worked in Waterfall organisations, so starting with an agency that embraced Agile ways of working was very much a come to Jesus moment.The leadership team at IE equipped me with the skills to be a good engineering leader, rather than just.

If you love coming up with amazing ideas, working until 4am to refine them, then chucking them in the bin then the world of advertising is for you!When I wasn't bumming smokes off the creatives, I was concocting an interactive film based in a post-apocalyptic Australia for the Australian Census, a network of digital billboards that identified what kind of.

I have to be honest and say leaving Lemonade was the hardest choice I've ever had to make, but it was also the easiest because the money JWT offered was absolutely stupid. My favourite moment at JWT was getting a message from a colleague in Sydney, saying he nearly got hit by a bus testing an AR game we'd developed for SEGA.In addition to that, we created.

After running up an incredible tax bill, I felt like it was time to let someone else take care of that for me, so I headed back to full-time work. When I wasn't getting hit by cars on my morning cycle, I was building content management systems and sites for clients such as Mercedes-Benz, Melbourne Arts Festival, BIG4, Alannah Hill, and Novo Shoes.

After my brief period as a seat warmer at Hyro, I shaved my head and set about a lucrative yet punishing 3-hour-a-day freelance career. When I wasn't sitting in a Brunswick St cafe by myself, or exploring my new home town by myself, or watching TV by myself, I was working on C#/Flash sites for clients such as Soap, JWT, DDX, Mark Agency, and built the.

In its 19th iteration as a subsidiary of BMC media, Hyro bought out a company called Icon Media Lab in Melbourne. After this announcement, I asked my boss "Hey, can I move to the Melbourne office?", and he said "Sure! We will even pay for you to move down there", and he handed me a plane ticket and shoved me out the door.When I wasn't accidentally taking.

Have you ever worked on a helicopter-based Flash game for a flamboyant/criminal billionaire before? No? Well, I have, and I can die happy knowing that I am one of maybe 2000 people alive in the world who can say that.Hyro was the little studio that could. Over the years it had died many a death, and time after time rose from the ashes like the proverbial.

This was the job to end all jobs. Hands down, the most fun I've had professionally in my life — if you ignore my first day on the job.You see, due to a number of factors such as the Dot Com crash, non-paying clients, and general incompetence of a certain 21-year-old, Dark Horizon had wound up a few months earlier in late 2000.After spending much of the.

One day in 1997 — I can't tell you what the exact day or month was because it was last century — on the floor of a soon-to-be-condemned goth share house in East Redfern (or Surry Hills if you're reading this, Mum), 3 friends declared that they had the drive, the ability, and the passion to start their own web agency, only to be proven catastrophically.

I didn't follow the path of most teenagers. Casual shifts at Maccas? Weekends in retail or hospo? No, my first job was marking targets at a rifle range. Standing in the blazing hot sun for 4 hours on a Saturday, with bullets flying over — and sometimes ricocheting back at — my head, all for a grand total of $20 which afforded me the ability to buy a death.
