I've always had a passion for technology; evolving into a thirst for knowledge I've spent my career learning everything I can to make technology work for everybody.

My career has been primarily geared towards the Advertising Industry, where I have played an integral part in the Digital Media Space. Advertising has provided a broad base of opportunity, always on the bleeding edge, being able to pick up and run with even infant technologies and create amazing things. The industry's fast paced nature has always kept me inventive and absorbing new trends.

I carry a great sense of personal pride with all the work I have both lead and directly produced. I have lead teams, and developed complex systems; all in which have been rewarding experiences.

We now live in exciting times, having the ability to rapidly learn, source, collaborate, make and distribute like never before. It literally just takes a great idea and the desire to make it happen. I say "Bring It!"

#IOTAsia Singapore Expo

• in 2016 I attended the IoTAsia Singapore Expo where technology vendors from all around the world congregate to show off the latest technology to solve real world problems. The client I was working with at the time had me developing a massive online platform focussed around Asset Management, and was predominantly IoT Focussed supporting a variety of deployed Internet Connected Sensors. This event was perfectly aligned with what I was working on at the time and was incredibly insightful.
• My primary insight goals attending the conference were Wireless Communications Modules, namely LoRa, BlueTooth and WiFi technologies, as well as Cognitive Algorithms, Predictive Analysis and Data Driven Heuristics. I seemed to gravitate towards all the Data Analytics Tracks.

NT Code Labs

• With the launch of the very first generation of iPhones, I wrote my first iPhone Application called "iInterface" created in Objective-C and sold on the App Store
• The App was designed to serve as a remote control to Media Centre Setups driven by Windows PCs
• iInterface was very dynamic, allowing you to create custom remote control layouts for each Windows Application, and remotes would change automatically as Windows Applications change focus
• Rotating your iPhone to the left would present you with a full qwerty keyboard, while rotating your iPhone to the right would present you with a touchpad allowing you to control the mouse.
• iInterface shipped as a Server Component and the Mobile App Component. The Server Software was written in DotNET C# and wrapped a lot of the Win32API to facilitate the automation of Windows Interactivity. All communications between Mobile App and Server were over a custom network socket protocol.
• While you could add connection details manually, ZeroConfig broadcast capabilities were implemented allowing Network Discovery right from the Mobile App.
• WakeOnLAN Support was also built into the Mobile App to wake up a sleeping Windows Machine
• 1,400 copies were sold before eventually being discontinued
