My Resume - Confidential

Summary

I am an Australian Telecommunications Executive with a split focus between commercial oversight of the M2 Group’s Data Centre & Cloud business, and a number of software development ventures of varying size and complexity.

An entrepreneur at heart, I’m always on the lookout for the next exciting, and hopefully challenging, opportunity. I am always learning, always seeking new technologies, and finding better ways to deliver solutions to my clients and for my own projects.

My development path started with 6502 Assembly & USCD Pascal in the 1980’s, moving to Borland Turbo Pascal, Borland Delphi in the 90’s, and then towards VB.Net.

My Current Projects

• Development of various IoT experiments using .Net Gadgeteer and Lync 2013 - including gas level and motion detection systems utilizing Lync and Skype as notification vectors.

Real World Skills & Activities

I frequently volunteer with the Telco Together Foundation (www.telcotogether.org) in fundraising activities such as our recent Kilimanjaro Charity Climb (2013) – raising AUD$162,000 for disadvantaged Australians by climbing Mt Kilimanjaro, African’s tallest mountain, and the world’s highest freestanding peak. (5895m/19000ft)

In a crazed moment, I agreed to climb the mountain again in 2015, hoping to raise more funds for the needy, as well as to increase visibility of the foundation’s great work.

I am also the author of an upcoming fictional novel, the Web of Deceit, due for publication in 2015.
