I’m a passionate technologist with years of experience in web development, and recent focus on infrastructure automation and developer experience for software delivery.
I believe the best problems to solve in technology are not just technical, but involve people and communication, and strive to put the experience of our users at the forefront of my work.
Keeping on top of shifts in technology, and best-practices within a fast-moving industry is something I care deeply about, and spend a significant part of my time focusing.
The previous 6 months at IOOF, I have been in a lead role within my team which has added team management, team roadmap planning, stakeholder communication, and vendor management to my responsibilities.
2018 - Present
During my initial 4 years at IOOF, I developed my skills in infrastructure automation, and software delivery tools, while contributing to our team’s efforts to make it easy for software delivery teams to efficiently deliver their software for the business.
While I have been involved in all aspects of our team’s infrastructure automation work, I have given particular focus to our internal platform-as-a-service and the underlying Linux container ecosystem it is based on.
I was often in the de-facto technical lead position within the team, providing technical leadership, as well as mentoring less experienced members of the team.

I worked as a self-employed web developer for 8 years, building websites and web applications for small to medium sized businesses.
