In 2017 I transitioned from being a manager back to a full-time individual contributor (because we hired some excellent people who could focus on being full-time managers!) and switched my focus to the client side parts of signin and data syncing across different Firefox products.As part of the launch of the new Firefox for Android, I championed the development of a shared client SDK for storage and syncing of browser data, built using Rust to enable use on multiple platforms.

Served in a combined tech-lead/manager role for ongoing development and maintenance of the Firefox Accounts service. I was responsible for broad technical leadership of the project (including technical design for new features and liaising with UX and product managers, as well as on-the-ground coding) and for managing a team of up to five engineers (including hiring, mentoring and performance review).

Core developer on a year-long project to launch "Firefox Accounts", a revamped login and data syncing system for Firefox browser users. The login system was built using NodeJS and a microservices architecture, while the sync system was an evolution of the existing Python server codebase.The new service launched successfully in April 2014 and quickly surpassed the previous system in terms of number of users.

Worked on server-side components with the Mozilla Services team, including the Firefox Sync backend storage service powered by MySQL and Python.

I co-founded and was lead developer at Cloud Matrix, a small Melbourne-based startup in the cloud storage space. We built "SaltDrive", an encrypted cloud-enabled USB stick. The SaltDrive technology stack was predominantly python including PySide for the desktop client, Django and jQuery for the website, and some custom python code to interface with Amazon Web Services for file storage.We did not achieve any noteworthy market traction.

I have done occasional work as a freelance developer and software consultant. My past projects have involved developing Python-based desktop and online applications, and code maintenance and translation services for Prolog.

After completing my Summer Internship with the Victorian Partnership for Advanced Computing, I undertook ongoing programming work on a casual basis. My roles ranged from developer to software architect, handling the design and development of software for engineering applications. Projects included a Python-based desktop application to support computer-aided design workflows, and a PHP-based project management portal used to coordinate research and development activities among several large organisations.

In late 2003 I was selected to undertake a Summer Internship with the Victorian Partnership for Advanced Computing. This was a paid position which involved developing a piece of engineering software for use in the organisation's computational engineering projects. The project involved heavy use of the Python programming language, and lead to Python becoming my favoured language for general development work.

While studying for my PhD, I undertook two semesters of casual teaching work in the Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering at the University of Melbourne. I tutored the subject "Algorithms and Data Structures" and was a lab demonstrator for the subject "Logic and Computation". Duties included preparing and running both tutorial sessions and practical programming sessions, along with assessment of assignments and marking of exams.As a result of significant positive feedback from both students and faculty, in 2006 I was awarded an "Excellence in Tutoring" award from the department.

This position was a formalisation of many aspects of the volunteer role I had played at Whitley College in previous years. As IT Manager I was responsible for coordinating technical support for the College's residents and academic staff, evaluating and implementing new technologies for the campus network, and liaising with student volunteers and with the College's Board of Directors.I also filled the role of Project Manager and Lead Developer during an overhaul of the College's public website.

As part of my undergraduate scholarship with the University of Melbourne's Faculty of Engineering, I obtained vacation employment with Agilent Technologies in Melbourne. The division to which I was assigned was responsible for updating a major portion of the company website, and my tasks included web-page development and maintenance, content solicitation from other employees, and testing and debugging of the site.
