About Me

Hello and welcome to my warts-and-all blog, laid out bare before the world wide interwebs for all to read.

I'm a multi-disciplinarian web developer living in Sydney, Australia via Thailand, Melbourne, and Brisbane (where I originally hail from), currently working at Telstra in the IPTV space. Chances are if you're in Australia and own a connected/smart TV or BD player, I had a hand in the apps you use on it. I can write cross-browser, standards compliant code in my sleep, bake my own actionscript classes and hack Ruby on Rails for fun and profit.

Prior to this site I used to write a popular travel blog called "Your Man On The Ground" about my life as a working ex-pat in Thailand. You can still read most of those posts on this site. Other versions of this site have existed since 2000, long before I'd ever even heard the term 'blog'. I stopped writing for a few years but now it's time to get back into the swing of things.

Often mistaken for a shorter, fatter, balder version of George Clooney, I'm heavily tattooed, can't go a day without smashing my eardrums with punk rock, math rock (it's indie-tastic!) and y'all-ternative/alt-country. I love good food and great wines.
