I work at Microsoft with the Windows 8 app ecosystem, amongst other things.

I’m a web standardista from way back (I ran the Web Standards Group meetings in Melbourne from 2004-2006) and gave presentations at Web Directions South, Edge of the Web, REMIX10 and New Zealand’s Webstock conference on the topic of The Open Web.

I help Craig Sharkie run the SydJS group for Sydney’s JavaScripters and I’m a regular in the Australian Ruby scene where I can be heard arguing the benefits of various open technologies and practices over a beer at pretty much every Sydney meeting and Railscamp.

Oh, and I run an industry event called Webjam to provide a platform for people to show off their innovations built on the web and web technologies.

I’m a passionate advocate of open web technologies but I try to temper that by actually knowing about those technologies — preferably from having used them.

I’m available for coffees, beers, and hearing about you.
