Data42

Senior Software Engineer (Contractual)

May 2023 - November 2023 | Brisbane, Australia

Data42 is an IT consultancy firm specializing in providing solutions for Australia's growing agricultural industry. Their software solutions range from organizing IVF for cattle to orchestrating the international exportation of Australian beef.

I was brought onboard to lead development for two of Data42's applications, IGTIVF and Horse Records. During my time at Data42, I had developed new features, provided bugfixes, documented existing code (including deployment procedures), improved system performance and strengthened security for both applications. As the primary developer for these applications, I had liaised with stakeholders on the feasibility of proposed features and mentored developers during their implementation.

As of 2024, Data42's software is used in approximately 80% of Australia's meat industry.

Klackit

Software Engineer (Contractual)

August 2022 - April 2023 | Brisbane, Australia

Klackit provides free mobile phone charging kiosks for venues to accommodate their patrons, assisting in the comfort and longevity of their stay. The kiosks provide an out-of-home advertising (OOH) platform for advertisers to engage their target audience by time and location via Broadsign's API.

I was responsible for developing the back-end handling all requests to/from kiosks, the portal and the chat console. The back-end handles everything from creating new locker sessions, relaying chat messages, administrating users, alerting Klackit when a kiosk unexpectedly goes offline, retrieving historical telemetry data and handling archived data by offline kiosks.

In addition to the back-end, I also designed and developed both the front-end applications for the portal and the chat console. The portal provides an intuitive interface for Klackit's staff to manage all kiosks provisioned within the system, the chat console is used to handle support requests where an agent can quickly and decisively resolve customer requests.

The system was deployed to production in February 2023. As of April 2023, the new system has serviced over 1000 customers and is active in over 100 venues.

Yabbr

Front-End Developer

April 2021 - April 2022 | Brisbane, Australia

Yabbr provides a solution to aggregate SMS, E-Mail, Social Media, Webchat and Voice communication into a single platform. Businesses can engage their customers and reach their target audience via multiple communication channels through marketing campaigns or personally through the Omnichannel Chat.

I collaborated with the Yabbr team to enhance the user experience on both Yabbr's portal and their Omnichannel Chat by developing new features, providing testing and delivering bugfixes. In addition, I helped create the documentation for Yabbr's API, assisted in developing the UI for a step function orchestrator and helped build the brochure website for Equifax Engage.

The Yabbr platform has been used to provide public health messages on the behalf of Queensland Health during the COVID-19 pandemic, campaigns for the Liberal and Labor political parties and delievering notifications for Unions to their membership base.

Denver Technology

Junior Software Engineer

March 2020 - April 2021 | Brisbane, Australia

Denver Technology is a company providing IT solutions to the resources and energy industry to solve productivity and availability challenges. Alongside the services offered by Denver Technology is the product Nostra. Nostra is an application which aggregates numerous data sources used to assess project decisions, business objectives and make real-time performance decisions made available in a single portfolio view.

I worked with the Nostra team to introduce new features into the product including interactive data visualisation, automated report generation and SharePoint integration. I had also worked on various prototypes for displaying Nostra's aggregated project data as a dashboard. These prototypes served as glimpses as to what Nostra could look like both visually and technology wise.

Nostra is currently in production for BP internationally and remains a staple in day-to-day business operations at several mining sites.
