About Me

Client focused, results-driven rapid development engineer specializing in software and electronics. I am also a trouble shooter and competent at maintenance and repairs.

For 15+ years I have been designing solutions for the Psychology Department and Faculty of Sciences at the University of Southern Queensland. Over this period I had the opportunity to design, build and provide leadership for a large number of technology based projects over a wide range of fields. These fields include EEG, neurofeedback, biofeedback, motor control, web survey systems, optical mark recognition, app development for sport data collection, database design, data collection, engineering, analysis and presentation.

Some of my recent projects include staff and member portals, building a server based digital sign system and a server driven network of touch screen information kiosks.

My technology philosophy is that the same data should never be required to be entered a twice and stored data should be linked and used.

I recently received a voluntary redundancy and I am now available and looking for some new challenges.
