Some of My Work

Bureau of Meteorology Home page

BoM had a new page design from tender but no internal capacity to implement it. I worked closely with the external designers, focus groups, and an accessibility advisory to translate the creative to a completely self-contained and fully accessible front-end. In parallel, I worked with internal teams to develop and implement a custom data layer to aggregate their weather feeds in a way that was stable and fast. The result was a major success and has been in place almost unchanged for over 10 years to date.

Pali / ProbityPro / GovMan

I was originally involved in developing the base code for a Governance, Risk, and Compliance system that eventually became Pali GRC. I was engaged by the parent company years later as Chief Operating Officer in order to further develop the product and user base. Over a period of nearly five years I completely overhauled the code-base, application front-end, and Pali brand; whilst also developing and launching two sibling brands with associated identities, websites, and marketing collateral.

GizMag / New Atlas

I initially became involved with New Atlas when it was GizMag, and developed their first CMS as a bespoke solution. Some years later they were facing branding, technology, and revenue issues, and wanted to make some changes. I oversaw the creation of a new brand, and then joined as COO during which time I ran the technical team, liaised with various external agencies, redesigned the website, and conceptualised and managed the transition across to an external CMS solution.

Kinko For Publishers DMP

The Bureau of Meteorology had been selected to trial Government advertising on their website and had neither the appetite nor resources to do so in-house. Working closely with their internal teams, I developed a solution to maximise revenue with minimal impact, and also handle the major increases in traffic from things like severe weather events. In the process I designed and developed an integrated Data Management Platform to handle the massive amounts of logistics and data generated.
