Experience

Vice President of Technology, ResApp Health, June 2020 - Present

I am currently responsible for building and running the technology team at ResApp, which includes everything from R&D, algorithm development, app development as well as server-side technologies, cybersecurity infrastructure and the technical side of regulatory compliance. I still get my hands dirty in this role and do a fair bit of debugging.

Vice President of Software Engineering, ResApp Health, May 2017 - June 2020

As VP of Software Engineering I built a great team at ResApp, with developers working on DSP, machine learning and app development as well as supporting engineers.

I managed the delivery of apps and supporting technology for several large clinical studies both in Australia and the US.

Senior iOS Software Engineer, ResApp Health, September 2015 - May 2017

Responsible for the technical architecture and implementation of ResApp's iOS applications and related server-side technologies.

Senior iOS Developer, Hydric Media, March 2015 - September 2015

At Hydric Media I built music-related apps for some of the world's leading music labels, brands and companies.

Mobile Development Lead, Skedulo, August 2014 - March 2015

At Skedulo, I was responsible for the architecture and engineering of the native mobile apps for their innovative Salesforce-backed remote workforce scheduling solution.

Technical Product Manager/Lead Developer, Oomph, November 2012 - August 2014

At Oomph we built the world's number one rich media content delivery platform for mobile devices. Oomph powers more than 450 apps on the App Store, including magazines such as Qantas Magazine, The Australian Women's Weekly and Coles Magazine and apps for companies such as Harley-Davidson, Westfield and Honda.

I worked on both the iOS codebase as well as the Mac-based content creation app.

I worked with a small team of developers across the whole stack, from the iPad and iPhone apps through to the Rails-based backend system

Software Engineer, Speedwell, August 2012 - November 2012

I worked on various iOS apps for Speedwell, including the Domino's pizza app for iPad and iPhone, as well as implementing security-related code to harden a secure document management app used by several State Cabinets, as well as the Federal Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet.

Director and Lead Developer, Big Bang Software Pty Ltd, 2000 - 2012

Big Bang Software was my own business in which I conceived, developed and published software which sold almost 20,000 copies and generated approximately 2 million dollars in profit.

I ran Big Bang Software with my business partner for more than a decade. I implemented all of our in-house systems, including:

• payment processing
• license management
• customer management and support
• bug tracking

I was the lead developer for all software projects worked on by the company, with my business partner responsible for UI and icon design as well as marketing.

For many years, our primary product was MenuMachine, a now-defunct web development tool for creating drop-down menus. The product was extremely successful in its market niche.

At Big Bang Software, I also performed contract work for major clients such as Adobe Systems, where I built a support tool for their web authoring software Adobe GoLive. Project was completed on-time and on-budget and was distributed with the packaged retail software.

I also worked on many smaller development projects for both macOS and iOS.
