With Forge I took on the system architect and technical lead role in development for the Flame Detector product. I worked closely with key company stakeholders to fully understand and develop the system requirements in alignment with the business’ and customer’s needs, and lead a small team of developers to convert that system design into a well-polished product for residential consumers.

I also took on a sysadmin role for Forge’s internal operations, including devops and staff productivity, and its cloud services infrastructure.

Impact

• Pioneered automated testing fixtures enabling over 100 000 cumulative test runtime hours, faster remote work, consistently reliable manufacturing, and safer software development
• Reduced friction of communication in a remote-first context, resulting in raised productivity
• Achieved rapid market feedback by slashing excessive complexity to produce a sleeker and more affordable product
• Pioneered safe AI-driven development resulting in faster experimentation and prototyping
• Built and maintained comprehensive developer tooling for test automation giving improved code stability and greater software optionality
• Lead multiple 3rd-party security audits resulting in an A+ grade

I joined G2 by invitation of the owners shortly after Vardr was sold. With G2, I built a robust and fully-featured battery operated security camera and conducted significant R&D toward a next-gen product. In this role I worked closely with electronics engineers, the software teams, and key company stakeholders. In 2018, this company was sold to a major investor.

Impact

• Produced 50% greater test coverage enabling faster and more reliable development
• Piloted faster manufacturing by significantly improving fixture reliability
• Pioneered greater user engagement with onboard video analytics
• Delved deeply to isolate and fix bugs, including a shared-memory bug within the main framework
• Designed, built, and supported firmware for the company's initial product

I joined Vardr at the end of University, shortly after the company was founded. I worked primarily on the embedded firmware in both R&D and product development contexts, and partly on related DevOps. Together we built a prototype security camera product and prepared it for the market, after which the company was sold to its primary investor. I then transferred to G2 Microsystems, which had the same owners. Vardr was delisted in 2023.

Impact

• Produced rapid, actionable product design feedback from exploration
• Embedded IoT
• Video capture
• Firmware design
• Linux operating principles
• Basic electronic diagram comprehension

My volunteer time with the SES has been very rewarding. I have spent countless hours through SES assisting my community in times of disaster, and in this time I have learnt the value of high quality leadership and teamwork. I have learnt to safely and dynamically assess risks, and how to develop and promote resilience in a team environment.

Impact

Risk assessment and management • Resilience • Team leadership • Training and event organisation • Storm and water damage repairs • Flood rescue • Swift water rescue • 4WD handling • Bushcraft

I started with VMR Southport on a duty crew roster performing a 24-hour shift once every 3 weeks. During my time there I performed numerous rescues of members of the boating public who were in distress. I worked my way up through the internally-managed training system to achieve my nationally-recognised Commercial Coxswain certificate, and through the internal rank system to Offshore Skipper. In 2020 I took on the Duty Skipper role to lead and manage the duty crew shift.

During my time with VMR I learned many invaluable boating skills, in addition to making effective dynamic risk assessments, conflict resolution, and personnel management.
