Returned to Sydney after my stint in the UK as a contractor, and resumed work as a programmer on the electronic parts catalogue (EPC) software. At around this time the company was making its first forays into a web based solution, and I took on the challenge of making our web front ends.

At high school I was a keen amateur programmer, and I had dipped a toe into commercial software and built a successful bespoke commercial software application to help a magazine company.
