Need to weave new technology more effectively and fairly into your organisation and customer experience?

Want to progress to better or more joyful use of technology in a post-COVID society?

Are you asking soul-searching technology and innovation questions, but don’t quite follow your tech people’s answers?

I can help. I offer:—

• whole-of-org technology strategy and architecture, delivered through careful development of shared awareness and insight, and smart orchestration of technology approaches.
• calm, confident stewardship of people and resources within complex and ambiguous landscapes.
• wide-ranging development and operations skills, from front-end and back-end software to internet-of-things devices, to robust infrastructure and systems integration.
• accessible and friendly investigation and communication around technology, translating between disciplines and mindsets, and overcoming knowledge silos.
• socially-progressive thinking that prioritises equality, cultural diversity and inclusion.
• national and international remote collaboration and team management.

If any of these sound useful to you, then let’s talk. You can contact me below.

The IC has been creating best-in-class interactive technology for the cultural, educational and non-profit sectors (and a few carefully-selected commercial clients) since I helped begin it in 2008.

At IC my team and I consulted on websites, collection interfaces, APIs, and other digital things. We helped build and launch experimental innovation startups for Graeme Wood (of Wotif) and Bendigo Bank, and community organisations Robots & Dinosaurs (a Sydney maker space) and the Sydney Awesome Foundation.

I am also proud to have been a founding member of the Django Code of Conduct Committee, promoting diversity and inclusion in the Django open source community.

As CTO, I led a multi-million-dollar step change in ACMI's already advanced use of technology in its exhibition-making and audience experience design. I architected XOS, an integrated content toolset and internet-of-things ecosystem, which gives life to The Lens, a physical/online hybrid device given to ACMI's visitors.

Along the way I managed a team of creative technologists, oversaw ACMI's DevOps transformation, helped develop technology procurement strategies and corporate and research partnerships. All that good stuff.

For my Doctoral thesis, titled A Supportive Methodology and Technology for Creating Interactive Art, I carried out a study of Artist-Technologist collaborations, focussing on how technology design can become more supportive of creative cognition and interdisciplinary collaboration. As part of my research I collaborated on several internationally-exhibited and peer-reviewed interactive art installations.
