Lanyrd tracks my conferences.

I like to say I’ve hung out my own shingle except that I don’t actually have a shingle to point to right now. Cobbler’s shoes and all that.

I’m currently working with Telstra Media, delivering IPTV services on television sets and the like. It’s hard, it’s interesting and it feels much like mobile development did a few years ago — but with modern technologies!

I was a Design Engineer at Atlassian, where I led development of the Atlassian UI library and built and designed the front end and interactions of Atlassian's OpenSocial dashboard implementation and the OAuth plugins.

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 also gave a presentation at this year’s WebDU on improving your development process with Git.

I help Craig Sharkie and Lindsay Evans 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.
