WORK HISTORY:
1991-1995 - ANZ Bank

Besides doing all the boring mainframe stuff, I finally got to do some really cool Windows programming after a few years.
My main claim to fame is the writing of the software which tracked the Queue wait times in the branches prior to the '5 minute guarantee' promotion.

1995- NCS Australasia

I'm the National Manager of Software Services at a medium sized company in Melbourne, Australia, which deals with data capture solutions, including Market Research Surveys, Field Work, OMR and OCR scanners.
We develop software and hardware solutions for lots of large (and small) institutions which range from Hospitals (patient menu systems), University (enrollment processing) though to Government (Electoral Roll processing, Student Testing)

INTERESTS:
Computers.... specifically the Windows kind, not those Mac things..... I grew up on an Apple //e which still sits next to my desk, in operational condition. A Mac is not an Apple. A Mac is a Lisa mutation, which rode on the back of Apple // sales for ages, and then Apple pulled the plug on what was brilliant technology...... bastards......
Cars... it started with an old EH Panel Van (which once ended up on it's roof while I was driving at the tender age of 13), migrated to lust with
Dad's Holden 308 V8 1976 HJ Statesman Caprice (97k),
then a Holden 308 V8 1984 WB Statesman Deville (82k),
and finally my ultimate Holden, my 304 V8 HSV Senator 5000i, all 200kW and 410 Nm of the Quartz coloured beast.
