Role Description:

Today is a full-service digital agency, spanning research, strategy and design through to architecture, implementation and technology consulting. I lead a team of developers across simultaneous projects - anything from a narrowly scoped feature through to end-to-end system design and delivery - while acting as escalation point for difficult technical issues, solution architect on less standardised work, client relationship lead, and the general "we don't know how to do this thing" problem solver. Broader responsibilities include defining technical direction (technologies, approach, process), championing accessibility, managing security and infrastructure, and business development.

Increasingly I've found myself gravitating towards the planning and problem solving side of my role; I relish the opportunity to work in situations where I don't know the answers. Some of the most enjoyable pieces of work in the past few years haven't involved me writing a line of code at all.

Skills:

• Full stack development (Infra through to FE)
• Team management & leadership
• Solution architecture
• Client relationship and project management
• Enterprise technical consulting
• Business development

Role Description:

Assets & Managed Services was a full-service managed services offering, in which I supported everything from simple single-page apps to complex multinational multi-site solutions. The majority of my experience there was with clients in the financial sector, though I also worked across logistics & freight, retail and government.

My responsibilities initially focused on basic code development - primarily working on existing codebases for bug resolution and minor enhancements. The position grew into a Managed Services-wide Front End Tech Lead role, supporting a wide variety of clients and mentoring other developers.

My work revolved around a core value of delivering excellence to meet our clients' goals, with a particular focus on a more proactive approach to their business needs. Traditionally managed services is a reactionary discipline, but by focusing on individual client relationships - building trust and rapport to properly understand each client - I worked to move the front-end practice into a proactive role, supporting clients and making a real difference.

Skills:

• UX/UI advisory and site optimisation
• Solution design
• Complex code development
• Long-term solution maintenance & enhancements
• Adaptability & quick to upskill
• Client and stakeholder management
• Team leadership

Role Description:

Continuing work done previously as part of a Swinburne University Industry Capstone Project, I worked as a Business Process Developer within Able Australia's Quality and Risk Team. The goal of the program was to help Able Australia manage and optimise the wide variety of previously undocumented processes across the business.

The role required interpersonal communication with staff at all levels including senior department leads, with stakeholder and change management being key areas I focused on to accomplish a successful outcome.

Skills:

• Information analysis
• Framework prototyping and rollout
• Independent project management
• Communication

Role Description:

I worked on a series of projects within the Cyber area, including analysis for a major financial institution, forensic kit auditing and administration and worked with experts to upskill myself in penetration testing & auditing.

The work included isolated situations requiring self-motivation and management, to working directly with senior client representatives. Most of the work was in areas beyond my knowledge base, and I was required to quickly learn specific and in-depth information on a variety of topics as well as be highly adaptable to daily changes.

Skills:

• Financial analysis
• Document auditing
• Self-motivated and managed work
• Client interaction and management

Role Description:

I worked on a number of projects requiring various skills. These included back-end development & testing, front-end development, framework research & creation and UX Design & Business Analysis. The majority of my time was spent working on new frameworks; either their application to new engagements, or the development and documentation of a new mobile-centric framework for use in the future.

I worked with a number of different teams through this, and the ability to integrate quickly and work effectively in teams I was not familiar with was essential.

Skills:

• Software development (web & mobile)
• Self-driven & organised upskilling
• Adaptability
• Teamwork and communication skills

Role Description:

I've worked with Mentone Grammar on a number of occasions, including creation of videos for students, parents and the general public, indexing of student recordings, and third party presentation assistance.

Since this initial work, I've worked with a number of small clients to help them improve their online presence through boutique websites & full managed service packages, including new features/content updates, deployments and hosting.

Skills:

• Requirements analysis
• Client management
• Video editing / graphics creation
• DevOps & infrastructure management
