Starting as a computer technician of 25 computers and 1 server, I was forced to grow my skills and capabilities quickly to meet the growth demands of the organisation, which by the end of my time here, had 200+ computers, 9 servers and 4 interstate offices. As part of my growth was the extension of my role to include proprietary software support and development, management IT vendors and creation of a private WAN, as well as constant interaction with clients such as CGU, NRMA, RACV, AAMI.

Moved into full-time employment with BRCS after 3 years on free-lance consulting work. Whilst consulting, my primary role was supporting legacy Pick / SB+ applications and building / maintaining WebForms applications that provided batch printing and enhanced reporting functionality for the debt collection market. My primary role quickly shifted to developing a proprietary application to sell within the same market, leveraging Pick / Multi-valued databases and web connected middleware technologies, pioneering a shift in the markets technology. We successfully launched the product and my role was to continue to enhance and support the product. By the time I left BRCS, I was managing a team of 3 programmers and 2 support staff.

As an Application Developer, I began working on custom integration projects, leveraging enterprise CMS product Sitefinity with different custom proprietary business management applications. Websilk, as a software services provider, extended their market into the NFP and Australian Government sectors, providing me many challenging projects both due to complexity and delivery timelines. Some of these projects, an example being the Australian Early Development Census (aedc.gov.au), involved not only writing complex workflows to manage multiple user roles, but required the capture of millions of question responses, the strictest adherence to Australian Privacy Laws, and creating and managing the hosting environment (and other devops related tasks).
