My expertise lies in the successful delivery of both native mobile apps and web-based products, which I have done across a diverse range of clients encompassing both the Government and private sectors. Notable industries include travel and airlines, mining and financial services such as banking and superannuation. Building cross-functional teams, I employ lean product principles and agile delivery methodologies, including SCRUM and KANBAN, to optimise project value while adhering to budgetary constraints and meeting release commitments. I was originally employed by Outware Mobile, a subsidiary of Melbourne IT, and I have actively contributed to its transformation firstly into Arq Group and, more recently, NCS Australia. Today, my responsibilities extend beyond project management, as I focus on mentoring, developing talent, building a positive workplace culture and enhancing operational practices to ensure our broad range of projects reach their full potential.
