How I like to add value

I love finding solutions to complex problems in society.

I'm drawn to travel as it's one of the most popular and profound human activities, and involves decades-old technology and business challenges.

I love building teams and inspiring people to work together towards a grand vision.

What I've done

I designed Adioso, the world's first open-ended/natural language travel search product.

I designed & built a new electronic payments system for taxis & limousines, which became the leading alternative taxi payments system in Australia and broke a decades-old monopoly.

I built a secure ticketing system for The Falls Festival - an internationally-renowned summer music & culture festival in Australia - well before the advent of developer-friendly credit card processing gateways. It enabled the promoters to bypass the ticket-selling duopoly, and saved ticket-buyers tens of thousands of dollars.
