SEEKING WORK - REMOTE | ONSITE
I have 25 years of hands on technical computing experience, 20 in pc and web software development.
Co started 3 startups as technical (co)founder,  
1 ecommerce SAAS, in 2000, coding complex javascript/css/mvc/socket development in OO C++.
1 was around consulting – pulled the pin when a very lucrative position was offered instead.
1 was multi company, starting with brand design SAAS
Focussed on large complex software domains in my career, yet worked in development for so long I’ve also done smaller work, for variety and as circumstances arose
Consulted or architected systems for big names like McDonalds, Yum Brands, Virgin, Hutchisons, Bell Canada, Telecom, Sony, Warner, Bmg, Towers Watson
Lead teams of dozens of engineers
Developed hundreds of applications, across dozens of languages and frameworks
Built deep familiarity with hundreds of applications and software domains
Been directly responsible for outstanding business success facilitating the successful sale of many of my employing companies, helping my bosses ‘exit’ with big smiles on their face
Been ahead of the technology curve for 15 years, at the forefront of Agile, DevOps, Internet, Mobile and Software Engineering. For example I was talking with Martin Fowler in 2002 about Agile tooling (and the internet recorded it for posterity).
I love keyboard shortcuts, sci-fi and efficiency, but I don’t forget that people are more important.
Most recent freelancing work was complete development, devops and support of a e-training SAAS that was sold after 5 years. Effectively a one man technical team/cofounder on a freelancer basis. The first version of that was delivered from scratch to customers in 4 weeks after the client's previous developers had oversold and not delivered..
I'm quite open to a variety of work styles, remote or on-site is possible, as are full or part time, and short or long term, either as code monkey (for complex systems) or a broadly skilled consultant to help with communication, software engineering, product development, devops, business process architecture, and development processes.
(Yes that's a wide skillset, yet genuine as previous employment psychometric evaluations have confirmed my mind is unusually flexible, and I've a lot of experience and no kids!)
Please call and leave a message on +612 80057900 with your contact details (email/skype/phone), and I will get back to you quickly.
