Currently I am responsible for making raw product ideas achievable, finding ways to implement the ideas for future products with the help of virtual teams of domain experts. This requires deep technical knowledge alongside the ability to represent the customer and excellent interpersonal and communication skills. In this and other roles I have achieved the following:

• Responsible for initiating the development of a number of features soon to be available in Nokia handsets. One smaller example already shipping is the FM transmitter, which involved building consensus between marketing, UI, hardware, system and application teams to deliver the feature within the product schedule. More recently I've been looking at graphics architectures and context awareness.
• Responsible for the architecture of product specific SW within product programs. Released products include N80 , N78, and N79, and a number of as yet unreleased products.
• Leader of the Software Team within a product. This involved work allocation, mentoring, reviews for permanent team members, etc.
• Supported local product programs, advising hardware teams, product management, etc on SW issues.
• Implemented features (C++)
• Developed & evangelised processes for managing prototyping work within the concepting organisation. Piloted process on some projects (C++, python, rails)
• Instrumental in adjusting the product planning process to align with the agile development model adopted by the SW organisation.
• Mentoring/tutoring role. Developed and ran training sessions on ruby-on-rails, symbian SW development, python, UPnP, and others. Both classroom and distance learning (global presentations).
• Some time allocated to a ‘forward looking’ role, analysing and preparing some information on interesting or competitive new developments.
• Software technical contact with relevant network operators & other external partners.

• Requirements management for a product.
• Drove SW build maturity for a product.

Mobile Innovation was a leading user interface designer, product integrator and software developer for smartphones and communicators. They enabled mobile device manufacturers, network operators and semiconductor suppliers to create differentiated products and services quickly and cost-effectively. They were purchased by Adobe in 2005.

• Built and led a team at MI that developed the UI framework for Series 90 and Series 80 Symbian platforms. I proactively developed a roadmap for the platform that included scalable XML user interfaces. I was instrumental in convincing Nokia to subcontract this work to us.
• Responsible for ensuring compatibility between the Series80 and Series90 UI libraries. These libraries were a single codebase with skins for each platform.
• Responsible for technical leadership within projects, including effective responsibility for system architecture as well as ownership of the implementation and oversight of defect fixing.
• Spent about 50% of my time on product development (C++)
• Designed and developed UI unit testing and continuous integration systems for Symbian development (in Java and Python). Technical lead of the build system at MI.
• Responsible for ensuring quality of builds and deliveries to the customer according to customer processes and for delivery within customer timescales.
• Work with project manager to organise and prioritise development tasks.
• Technical contact with the customer.
• Line management duties for engineering staff, including goal settings, performance reviews and mentoring.
• Acted as a 'bridge' between the engineering and UI teams at mobile innovation. I was recognised as an expert and able to communicate effectively with both communities.

• Consulted on interface design & implementation issues in both PC and wireless (mobile) divisions.

The Medical Program is a radical re-thinking of how to train doctors for the 21^st century. It was the first university course to our knowledge to use web technologies exclusively to deliver educational materials in a distributed problem-based learning environment. I was the initial hire in this project, and responsible for the planning and implementation of the entire technology stack, from specifying, installing and running servers (web, sybase, mail, news, proxy, smb, etc) to developing the custom software that made the course possible.

• Architect and lead developer of a large-scale, world-leading e-learning platform within the Faculty of Medicine using both client and server side Internet technologies. (Java, Python, JavaScript, SQL)
• Learning management and content delivery system was designed and implemented before any commercial packages were available.
• Learning Management System was extended to allow learner modelling using an advanced visualisation technique. This cutting edge extension of technology was later published.
• Designed, Installed and administered platform infrastructure. Pro-actively wrote substantial management system. (Java, C, Python, UNIX)
• Marketed our expertise and experience to other university departments around the world.

• Trained various groups on Internet usage and HTML authoring.
• Engaged in PC support services for a number of university departments.
• Authored teaching software in C++, C and HyperCard.
• Designed and implemented web sites for a number of customers.
• Administered Macintosh, PC and SUN servers.

 I have taught a wide variety of courses within the Dept. of Computer Science, from first year courses through to professional development courses at senior undergraduate level.

Courses included Artificial Intelligence, MIPS assembly, Machine principles, Java, C++, Pascal, Computers & Cognition.
