People Person and Technical Powerhouse
I specialize in the ability to understand the Client’s business realities and communicate which technical decisions will result in positive impact and tangible business value. I focus on Business Projects that interface with technical teams and technical systems.
I have an extensive Infrastructure focus with strong Developer experience; and gained global recognition as a specialist in Virtualization, receiving multiple awards internationally from Microsoft.
I have a passion to tinker and explore. I have a warm fuzzy spot for pushing the boundaries of consumer technology. ...and bonus points if it can be done without using a keyboard.

July 2009 — Present (6 months)
My world is where XBox360 meets 2008R2; Windows 7 Media Center meets Mash Up; It's the place where Web compliments Bricks+Mortar (and not the other way around). Technology is driven by touch, and not a keyboard.
My projects are where the Enterprise meets Consumer, and B2B happens everytime you walk into a Store. I push boundaries, and with my team, we build standards.
It's unusual, and challenging. If you're interested, and want to know more, I'd love to chat with you over a coffee.

I am the founder and current president of the Brisbane Infrastructure Group. Affectionaly referred to as BIG, we have ~430+ members holding regular face to face meetings and a strong online presence.
We meet on a monthly basis, “rock the socks off” and “fuel the passion” of IT Pros and Architects in Brisbane; leveraging as much social networking and collaboration technologies as we can to reach all those geographically challenging places.
This is a voluntary unpaid role, and BIG, is a non-profit group and my opportunity to invest back into the technical community.
