In 2017 I founded the Australian Ocean Lab (AusOcean) with the mission of developing tech for the good of our oceans. Between 2007 and 2018 I was Engineering Director for Google Australia and New Zealand. I joined Google from NetPriva, a networking software company I founded in 2005 which was acquired by Expand Networks and in turn acquired by Riverbed. From 1986 until 2002 I lived in California. I worked for Schlumberger for 8 years, then in 1996 I cofounded NetMind, which developed the Internet's first change detection service. NetMind was acquired in 2000 by Intellisync (acquired by Nokia) where I was VP of Engineering until returning to Australia in 2002.

I'm also a co-founder and director of StartupAUS and on the board of the South Australian Museum . I attended Adelaide University and Stanford University and was appointed a Fellow of Engineers Australia in 2014.

In my free time I enjoy spending as much time on the water as possible (kitesurfing, kayaking, diving and sailing) as well as snowboarding and the occasional fossil hunt.

Cluey Voter, an app for voting "below the line" in Australian elections.
KML Tools, an app for visualizing data on Google Earth and Google Maps.
Chart plotter, for plotting charts on Google Maps.

Finally, when I'm not working, not coding, not volunteering and not on the water, I enjoy blogging.
