Many developers would love a chance to fly Mach 2. I’m wired in reverse, and while military aviation was a blast, creating great software is my true passion.I always had a developer’s flair. At age 17, I observed my Mum’s industrial clients struggling with maintenance intervals, so I created a user-friendly calculation tool using self-taught VB4 and enjoyed 10 years of royalties. After seeing my Air Force mates power up expensive aircraft to learn complex navigation and radar modes, I wrote a desktop simulator that allowed the government to better utilise those aircraft and save hundreds of thousands of dollars in long term maintenance. I topped the Airborne Computing module in my Master’s Degree.Most recently, I have had the exciting challenge of creating a revolutionary product at Inzpire, starting as a remote one-man division and growing to 20+ people with multi-million turnover and international exports. I transformed the initial prototype into a diverse product family using a tailored development cycle combining agile with rigorous military safety and security. This required splitting out a cross platform core and introducing plug-in architecture. I mentor junior developers, and have helped stand up sub-teams in data management, config control, system build, and user training. We received the Queen’s Award for Enterprise and applied to patent our calculation engine.I rely on solid maths, physics and code writing skills, coupled with an ability to decompose complex customer requirements. I thrive working to tight deadlines, and have learnt that hard work, a professional structured approach, a creative touch, and a good sense of humour will solve most problems.I love travel (47 countries so far), and I reluctantly try to keep fit, once even managing a half marathon. I still fly, although I’ve swapped jet aircraft for a nice leisurely Cessna.Specialties: Development (C#, VB, SQL, others), Architecture, UX/UI, Engineering Process, Requirements Capture.

Listed skills include Android Textview, Android, Xml, Coordinates, and 6 others.
