Father of 2 teenagers, Junior Basketball coach at 3 clubs, OData Evangelist, and crazy mad Collingwood Fan.

My preferences are Star Wars, dark mode, spaces and search driven interfaces.

I've been a Full stack .Net developer since 2002, but long before that I have been working with robotics and automation systems to solve seemingly impractical and unnecessary tasks around the house. It took nearly 15 years to find a professional use for these skills in the realm of Industrial IoT, interfacing with PLCs, microcontrollers and SoCs like Raspberry Pi, mostly from the comfort of C#.

I bring my IoT experience in designing and managing distributed APIs and Micro-Service style solutions to each new project and design the core APIs with extensibility, scalability and long-term maintenance as primary concerns.

When I'm bored, I trawl StackOverflow for inspiration and the opportunity to flex my skills or try out new frameworks in an effort to help out my fellow developers.
