I was born in Sydney, live in Melbourne, and went to school on the Gold Coast. After returning home from a private boarding school, I continued my education in Melbourne at the Northern Melbourne Institute of TAFE (NMIT). I then attained my Bachelor of Applied Science (Computer Science) at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT). Recently I have completed my Honours Degree at the same university. My research focused on Artificial Inteligence (AI) and I was supervised by Charles Thevathayan, and Peter Bertok. I like to work and enjoy a challenge. I am always willing to learn new skills.

Past Projects Of Note

Advanced Air Services	Brief Description This was a project produced by a group of 4 people, from the beginning of the SDLC through till the end including implementation. The project was designed with client server architecture in mind, using NT server, with Windows 95/98 clients. Project Break Down Programmed in Visual Basic Team of four people Login/Checkin, and Administration Systems Analysis and design requirements feasibility studies Data Flow Diagram's Data Dictionary gantt and pert charts estimations of completion and labour time Implementation Interacted with an access database Various support programs in C Printed tickets and boarding passes Networkable with server database Server NT Workstations Windows 95 User Support User Manuals Help Files
Image Viewer	Brief Description Image View allows a user to open an Image file, of gif or jpg format, and to associate a word(s) to that Image. In this way it is possible to execute a search for a key word and view all relevant Images. Project Break Down Programmed in Java Analysis and design requirements UML Class Diagram Implementation Interacted with text files Displayed Gif's and Jpg's Various search algorithms for registered images Exact search ("Beach" would display Images of the beach) Related search ("Hot" would return images of hot food, warm day at the beach etc.) Attempt to follow the Object Oriented Approach
ICQ Clone	Brief Description The ICQ clone was designed from basic user requirements all the way to the final Implementation. Followed a client/server approach, where the server would maintain user accounts on and oracle database. The contact list on the client would update as users would go on and off line. Project Break Down Programmed in Java Was Team leader for analysis and design phase of project Team of 9 people including team leader Analysis and design requirements UML Diagrams Use case Class state sequence Data Dictionary Various reports on project and team status gantt and pert charts estimations of completion and labour time Implementation Used embedded SQL to interact with an Oracle server Used Sockets Multi Threaded server and client Platform independent Attempt to follow the Object Oriented Approach
Implementation of Conway's Game of Life	Brief Description This project uses simple rules to simulate living cells or bacteria. Rules such as if a space has 3 cells next to it, a new cell is "born", while if a cell has 4 neighbours, it "dies". The way in which the "petri dish" is represented in memory is paramount to performance. Project Break Down Programmed in C (Dos & Unix Versions) Various data structures developed Doubly Linked List of Doubly Linked Lists (Extraordinarily fast, faster than a lot of other implementations) Allowed quick and easy calculation of "Rows" and "Columns" Hash Table with an embedded Linked List (Much faster than the above data structure) This implementation allowed traversal of the list, while a calculation of near by cells could be done with the speed of a hash table
Tutorial Allocation System	Programmed in Java Analysis and design requirements UM Class Diagram Implementation Use of the Model, View, Controller concept Maintained multiple files and a directory structure Platform independent Attempt to follow the Object Oriented Approach
Book Management System	Programmed in C++ Implementation Maintained a Linked list of Book "Objects" Compiled in Unix Required Inheritance (Containership) Virtual functions Overloading Templates
