Professional Details
I am a software engineer with over ten years of professional software development experience. I am a highly skilled software developer with C/C++ under Unix-like (eg. Linux) and Windows environments. I am also an experienced system administrator. I have many useful additional skills, and the ability to learn new skills quickly.

I graduated with a First-Class Computer Science Honours degree from the University of Adelaide at the top of my class. I was awarded the School Prize for Honours Computer Science for the highest overall result for the course that year. My results for all of my Honours subjects were at alpha (highest) grade, with one exception. My results throughout my degree were extremely high, including the highest awarded results for three subjects. My results for Mathematics and Computer Science subjects were Credit minimum with only one exception, with approximately half at High Distinction level.

During my career I have worked on and successfully completed many software development projects. I have undertaken the successful design and completion of multiple significant software and systems projects, including the sole development of a software application as part of a self-funded small business, and was responsible for every aspect of its development from initial concept, through design and development, to successful completion, sales, and maintenance.

As a system administrator I have worked with and supported Windows and Unix-like systems and servers, as well as Mac OS X clients. I have set up and maintained file, web, license, and mail servers. I have been involved in lab image development and deployment. I have set up and maintained networks of many PCs. I have been responsible for supporting national Cloud/Grid infrastructure. I have worked with multiple virtualisation technologies.

I am experienced working entirely independently and in teams both large and small. I am highly self-motivated and capable of and experienced working independently under minimal or no direction.

In my career I have worked in Defence performing software development in the area of computer security, in commercial game development, in system administration and support roles, in a high-performance computing (HPC) environment, in a national Cloud/Grid computing role, and in my own business. I have worked with both external and internal clients. I have worked as a tutor and in a mentoring capacity with fellow employees and students. In my business I developed a commercial software product from initial conception through design, development, and to successful completion; followed by maintenance, sales, and support.

I am presently unavailable for new roles. However, please do feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss potential future opportunities. In general, I am most interested in long-term half-time appointments, or short-term full-time appointments. I am happy with variable hours, casual, and on-call arrangements, and can work either on-site or from my home office.

I am based in South Australia in the Adelaide suburbs, approximately twenty minutes from the CBD. I am happy to work either on-site or remotely from my home office. I am not looking to relocate state or country at this time.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you feel that I can be of assistance to you. My Curriculum Vitae is available on request. I can provide multiple highly positive references from past supervisors and coworkers. My contact details can be found below. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
