  • Drupalsouth
    Treasurer
    Drupalsouth Nov 2022 - Nov 2024
    Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
    An elected member of the DrupalSouth Steering Committee for 2 years, I helped this group organised Drupal events in Australia and New Zealand, while also managing budgets and committee finances. Together with wonderful team of volunteers I helped execute four very successful events: DrupalSouth Wellington 2023, DrupalSouth Sydney 2024, and the DrupalSouth Community Days in Canberra in '23 and '24. I also helped shepherd in the DrupalSouth Splash Awards, which recognise the best Drupal websites in the region. These awards were focused on increasing Drupal engagement from outside of our community, rewarding agencies and their clients, and helping to demonstrate some of the impressive sites that can be built with Drupal. In all of these respects, the Splash Awards continue to be a resounding success. Finally my role involved engaging closely with sponsors, helping them to find value in their investment and ensuring they'd keep coming back and helping us these events to prosper and expand.

  • Haylix
    Co-Founder And Managing Director
    Haylix Jan 2010 - Aug 2014
    Melbourne
    Haylix is a specialist provider of mission critical web hosting to some of Australia's most recognisable brands. Sites managed include Bunnings.com.au, Australia.com, and KFC.com.au. Sites in this category require a special kind of infrastructure that is cost-effective, always online, and able to resist advanced threats and DDoS attacks. As co-founder and MD I built Haylix into a highly competitive force in the world of high-profile web hosting. I was able to achieve this by building a culture of continuous improvement and by embracing new techniques and processes to bring new opportunities to our clients before the competition. For example, Haylix was the first OpenStack public cloud provider in Australia, and the first Australian provider to offer a CDN-accelerated cloud storage platform specifically for web-hosting acceleration and offload. In 2014, after 5 years of wiring, programming, selling, negotiating, and hiring I moved to an advisory role following a successful sale of the business, and took off overseas to study Chinese and broaden my horizons.
  • Dt
    Hosting Manager
    Dt Mar 2009 - Dec 2009
    Melbourne, Australia
    DT is, in my humble opinion, Australia's best and brightest digital agency. It's no coincidence that DT clients are leading their respective industries in terms of digital strategy. Folks like Tourism Australia, Bunnings, and Optus have work out there that is lightyears ahead of their competitors thanks to DT.My DT story begins in 2009 as the sole guy in their internally-focused web hosting operation. DT wanted to make sure the sites they built for their clients were secure, fast, and reliable. By the time I joined, they had already built a solid foundation for a strong web hosting company and their clients were enjoying the benefits that work. Over the course of 9 exciting months, I went about pivoting DT's internal hosting department into a market-ready web hosting business. While some of this work was technical in nature (ensuring we could scale quickly and without compromising quality), a lot of effort went into operations, marketing, and business planning. This is an area I had less experience in, but I had the inside edge thanks to direct access to the best digital marketing agency in the country!
  • Xbio Systems
    Infrastructure Manager
    Xbio Systems Jun 2008 - Mar 2009
    Xbio was a Melbourne-based startup building patient management software for hospitals and clinics across Australia. These systems were developed internally and hosted on purpose-built infrastructure. One of these systems was actively utilised by hundreds of clinics across across and required very high levels of availability.My job at Xbio was to design and implement a hosting platform that was both reliable and secure, as the nature of the data being collected was highly personal. This was by far the most technically challenging role of my career to date and I had an absolute blast!Sadly, this bustling startup had not yet achieved profitability when the GFC rolled around and the US-based investors decided to withdraw from the business. Not all was lost though, as without this unfortunate event I would never have applied for a hosting job at DT and started down an even more exciting career path!
