Firmus is (we think) the world's most energy efficient data centre. I currently lead the Supercloud division, which is building Australia's largest GPU-centric cloud native supercomputer. Our patented energy efficient data centre design is also used for bitcoin mining and grid firming.

Biteable is video and animation company. I designed and implemented a reinforcement learning algorithm for video template recommendations.

The Australian Ocean Data Network (AODN) connects ocean data from government agencies and private sector organisations with an interest in ocean data. I was the systems architect and I led the team that built the information infrastructure behind the AODN and Australia's Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS).

The Tasmanian Partnership for Advanced Computing (TPAC), University of TasmaniaNovember 2008 - August 2011 (2 years 10 months)I managed a project comprising six sub projects running out of organisations including the Bureau of Meteorology, CSIRO, IMOS, TPAC & Arcitecta. Sub-project leaders at each of the contributing organisations reported to me, and I reported to the steering committee. In addition to managing the project I was lead architect and developer on one of the sub-projects. The project objective was to integrate large marine and climate data sets that are distributed across Australian research institutions, using web services. The outcome was a federated system that allows marine and climate data throughout Australia to be discoverable, searchable and conformable with standard vocabularies, enabling researchers to collect and aggregate data across multiple disciplines.I also managed three smaller projects:• Integration of the TPAC Digital Library with AAF national security standards.• Integration of the TPAC Digital Library with the Australian National Data Service.• South Esk Sensor Web feed into ANDS.My other main accomplishment in this role was attracting funding for the three projects mentioned above. I also contributed to a successful bid for TPAC to host a node of the national cloud computing infrastructure. The project was funded by a federal investment of $150 million for a distributed OpenStack SAAS implementation and supporting storage. I wrote the original proposal for the cloud computing component and helped see the bid through to completion.investment of $150 million for a distributed OpenStack SAAS implementation and supporting storage. I wrote the original proposal and pushed the bid through to completion.

I worked on two projects during my contract with NAB Capital. My second, and most recent, project involved an application called GMM (Global Message Manager). GMM is a J2EE application, which runs on Wepsphere. Its purpose is to provide a central processing hub for integration with the global SWIFT network. The solution is based on a Misys product called MMM, which can be extended using custom Java classes to implement complex message flows. I was involved in the Java side of the development using such tools as Eclipse, ANT and Junit.Prior to working on GMM, I worked on a project to upgrade Equation, which is another Misys banking application. My role in this project included managing the DB2 database. I also rewrote and upgraded the code for processing the auto-rollover of foreign currency term deposits.

I worked on three projects as a subcontractor for EDS. The first project was at the institutional banking division of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia. The bank's requirements included a straight-through processing system for the settlement of foreign currency exchange trades. My part in this project was to design and develop the interface between a web based system called "ecomm" and Midas (the backend application). In addition to the interface and its associated applications, I wrote the enquiry and maintenance programs on the Midas side for processing the received settlement instructions and cash flows. I also updated the applications for outgoing SWIFT messages.At the completion of the MIDAS project, I moved to the Westpac account where I worked with the middleware team on a number of projects. The largest of these projects involved the implementation of an interface between EDS and Westpac systems. The interface was required for a mortgage system outsourcing agreement between the two companies. I was involved in the design of the integration solution in conjunction with IBM. The implementation included SSL and clusters for high availability and load balancing. The systems integration solution spanned the EDS and Westpac networks.After a short break to focus on my PhD, EDS invited me back work on another project with the Commonwealth Bank. The project involved the implementation of a new asset finance system called ALFA. My primary objective was to oversee the development and deployment of the new system, and to provide technical advice and direction to stakeholders within the business arm of the Commonwealth Bank. I implemented a new change control methodology, which allowed business staff to test and deploy new asset finance agreement types. I was also responsible for system analysis in relation to performance and capacity.

HSBC had recently purchased the NRMA building society as part of their expansion strategy. I was involved in a development project to modify the bank’s back office systems to cater for the products previously offered by the NRMA building society. All NRMA customers were then transferred to the HSBC system. Since the completion of this project HSBC sought my services on a number of occasions, but unfortunately I was unavailable.

T-Systems (Debis Systemhaus) is the largest supplier of IT consultancy services to the banking industry in Germany. I was based on site at the Bank of Tokyo - Mitsubishi in Frankfurt, Germany. The BTMs' business is in commercial banking and securities. I was initially recruited by T-Systems to lead a custody account transfer project. My role spanned the entirety of the software development life cycle. Specifically, it included meeting with the business to formalize and document the requirements. I then produced a detailed design and undertook the development and unit testing. I was also responsible for managing systems and integration tests. Finally I took responsibility for the successful deployment to production, and the decommissioning of the obsolete custody account system. Some other projects that I worked on while at the BTM included Euro conversion, a Euro Clearing System, SWIFT updates as well as general maintenance of back office systems.

Based in the UK, my responsibilities included the analysis, design, development, documentation and testing of software related to HMV’s accounting systems. The main project I worked on involved the development and modification of interface software as part of an upgrade process of HMV's accounting systems (Coda) at the head office in each country where HMV operated.

Boystown Lottery is a charity that raises money for Kids Helpline and other youth programs. I was responsible for the design and development of various software systems related to the sale of lottery tickets and other promotions. Projects included an online program for ticket sales as well as an order entry, invoicing and payment processing system for a merchandising application.
