The company provides a centralised platform for these applications to reside on, communicating to the back-end processing via the H.323 protocol. This Applications Service Provision (ASP) model allows for shared port density across many applications and lowers the overall set-up and maintenance cost per port for a given application. At Voxpilot, I have been responsible for designing and managing projects such as the Voxpilot Online Development Environment (ode.Voxpilot.com) and the internal infrastructure of the office systems including set-up and installation of the Office Networks, Servers, Mail Systems, DNS and server Management. I was required to research and road test products to better control Business Processes such as change and document management, and was often charged with troubleshooting systems and software issues. I was also responsible for liasing with our Value Added Resellers (VAR’s) and other partners at a technical level. February 2000 – April 2001 TUTTiCOM Ltd Web Site : http://www.tutticom.com/ Position Held : Chief Technology Officer Voxpilot merged with TUTTiCOM for its rich knowledge of Personal Information Management (PIM). TUTTiCOM was an Applications Service Provision (ASP) company, employing 17 people to provide a full-featured PIM suite to its clients, including Calendaring, contact management, email and community/group functionality which are delivered over the web from the TUTTiCOM servers and transparently branded to a clients look and feel. This is achieved using a 3-Tier Architecture abstracting the functional and Data layers from the Presentation later (MVC). At TUTTiCOM I was responsible for the design and development of the product, and the Production Installation. I developed the internal procedures and Business Processes used for software quality assurance, and the supporting software to perform bug tracking, logging and software upgrades to the Primary installation. I was responsible for designing, implementing or approving all product modifications. As the CTO I was also required to liase with our clients and with Potential Partners.

I was responsible for liasing with the Customers to determine the functional software requirements and developing requirements specifications, then designing and developing the software solution for the clients, implementing a full SDLC. The role required regular contact with the clients to ensure client satisfaction and implementation of procedures to ensure maximum software quality. February 1999 – September 1999 Exigent Electronic Commerce Position Held : Senior Contractor Exigent was a small contracting company founded to provide professional IT services to the Finance Industry. The Three Partners have a global Reputation within the PRO-IV community and the Australian Financial Industry. I was hired as an Oracle PL/SQL and Database Programmer to create a polymorphic replication/Data Warehousing solution for a client’s reporting needs. The system was built on top of the Oracle replication functionality, extending it to allow for any Oracle database source(s) to be replicated to a central Data Warehouse/Repository; and during that replication allow for simple or complex calculations to be performed on the data. The system allowed for data from one table to be processed, then stored in multiple tables, or vice versa, and for aggregate records to be created from the source data. All Data transformations could be maintained from a central Administration console that encapsulated common functionality and could be maintained by people with only a little knowledge of the system, but also allowed for more complex operations by implementing run-time PL/SQL in the administration framework. May 1995 – December 1998 FlexiPlan Australia Pty Ltd Position Held : Senior Programmer MasterKey Custom is a Premier Superannuation and Personal Investment fund administration company. In December 1998 It employed over 80 employees, and held over 1 Billon Dollars in Funds under Management. My Role in MasterKey Custom was largely related to the monthly financial reports that were sent to the investors. These reports had to accurately aggregate financial transactions over a given time period into User Friendly transaction figures. The reports also needed to be efficient and fast, as a typical month saw the transactions table grow by 1 to 3 million records.I was also employed in a major project to migrate the back-end systems from the Proprietary PRO-IV databases to Oracle. The migration required that some business logic be shifted to PL/SQL triggers to maintain functionality, and the migration of all the reporting systems. * References ------------ Available on Request
