I`ve been working with software professionally in some form or another since around 2008. If I had to pick my favourite things about my work, they would be: Building tools to help people work more efficiently and effectively Working with other people`s code and improving things while learning from how they tackled their challenges Integrating systems, especially those that weren`t designed to be integrated Ever since my parents brought home my first computer when I was in grade 3, I`d wanted to be a computer programmer. I first started programming in high school and jumped straight into an IT degree at uni. During my postgrad year I worked part-time at a small web development company called Creative Infusion (which no longer exists) and, full of the hubris of youth I thought, how hard could it be? So I ambitiously tried to start my own little web development business; unfortunately being fresh out of an IT degree I didn`t have much in the way of business skills, so it was a very humbling experience! Since then I`ve developed solutions for the healthcare, business services and finance industries, as well as teaching two classes (C# programming and web dev) as a teacher at the Australian College of IT. In 2014 I somehow convinced an amazing woman to marry me and the adventures we`ve been on so far have been the best yet! Profile ©
