I work as a Design Engineer on the Integration Team at Atlassian. Most recently that has meant building and designing the front end and interactions of our OpenSocial dashboard implementation and our OAuth plugins. I lead development of the Atlassian UI library.

I’ve made minor contributions to the OpenID, OAuth, and EAUT working groups and generally soaked up the discussion in other similar mail lists.

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

I’m also a regular in the Australian Ruby scene and can be heard arguing the benefits of various open technologies and practices over a beer at pretty much every Sydney meeting and certainly every 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.

Basically, I’m a passionate loudmouth, but I try to temper that by actually knowing about the technologies I advocate — preferably from having implemented them.

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

I probably look something like this .
