2. Qualifications
During 2010 and 2011 I completed a Dual Diploma of Information Technology, specializing in Software and Website Development at Swinburne University, Melbourne.
The Dual Diploma course specialised in object oriented programing principles, using the principles of a Model-View-Controller framework, database driven web-sites using MySQL and the entire development process from analysis through to development and testing. The main programming languages I used were Java and PHP with some use of C++.
As per my professional background I have an advanced knowledge of both backend (LEMP Stack) and front-end (HTML, CSS3, VueJS, Javascript/jQuery, Bootstrap) web technologies. In 2014, I briefly worked with XBMC (C++ and Python) in a professional capacity.
I have also programmed at a basic or intermediate level using numerous other languages such as C and Perl, and am always looking at expanding my knowledge within the programming sphere.
Whilst working with FishVision and Trasformd the teams I have worked on have implemented continuous integration across all projects. This has either been using a Vagrant, VirtualBox and Ansible setup, whilst in later projects Docker has been the preferred option.
The standard setup for latest projects with FishVision has been to use AWS. This has either been using EC2 instances or ECS for projects using a docker deployment.
During my time at Swift Digital I did a lot of system administration work. This involved looking after 12 remote servers using the secure shell protocol, including a specialised mail and database server. All servers used Unix based operating systems (mainly Ubuntu and Slackware) and were operable only from the command line. Since then I have started my own business (DTH Design) which has an Ubuntu VPS, which I have deployed and am solely responsible for all maintenance.
Just prior to starting my diploma course at Swinburne University, I spent just over two years living in Ireland and traveling through Europe. Since the middle of 2015 I have mostly been based out of London.
I lead an active lifestyle and participate in many team sports. I play Australian Rules football in London for the North London Lions and previously played for the University of New South Wales Football Club and have played a high level of cricket for the Eastern Suburbs Cricket Club in Sydney. I also enjoy middle distance running, squash and tennis to accompany these activities.
