Detailed below is my participation in the World Wide Web development community and employment history in the industry.
In March 2007, I joined the W3C as an Invited Expert to participate in 3 Working Groups: The HTML WG, the Web API WG and the WAF WG.
In the HTMLWG, I will be contributing to the development of HTML5, the next generation of HTML, as I have been doing with the WHATWG for the past 3 years.
For the Web API WG, I have become the editor of the Selectors API specification – an API for selecting elements using Selectors (as used in CSS).
For the WAF WG, I am a co-editor of the XBL Primer – a document intended to teach authors about XML Binding Language.
From the end of January to mid-April 2007, I was employed by Communicator Interactive as an HTML developer. This role included developing websites for both desktop and mobile environments.
In this role, I developed websites for organisations including 3m, Rexona and Brown Brothers.
From January 2007, I’ve been contracted to build the Charles Sturt University Games Technology course website.
In December 2006, I was contracted by Blue Cork to build the homepage for the Selectv website, and again in January to build a few more pages for the site. This was built using standards compliant HTML 4.01 Strict and CSS. This version of the site has not yet been publicly launched.
Since August 2006, I have been working with Itchybrain to develop a set of reusable markup, script and stylesheet templates for use in a CMS. This work in ongoing.
In June and July 2006, I developed the markup, script and stylesheet templates for GetMail.
From January to May 2006, I was re-employed by HotHouse as a contractor to build and maintain the HTML, CSS and JavaScript for 4 new websites (not yet publicly launched). The websites required fully standards compliant and valid markup that conformed with WCAG 1.0 - Priority 1 and 2.
I have been employed as a contractor with Edentiti to build and maintain their website’s HTML, CSS and JavaScript. This role was primarily from October 2005 to January 2006, but has since continued on an as-needed basis.
I was employed at HotHouse Interactive, initially beginning as a contractor for 1 month, and then continuing for a further 3 months. During this time, I worked on a number of projects, primarily using standards compliant HTML, CSS and DOM scripting techniques.
In this role, I created and/or worked on a number of websites including Crowne Plaza (related: blog entry), Holiday Inn, Toyota, Homehound, HCF Eyecare and Omnus. My main job was to convert the designs for these pages (Photoshop images) into markup and CSS.
In this part time role, I worked in the receiving dock, until accepting a full time position at HotHouse. In this role, my duties included receiving, dispatching and logging stock as required. During this time I added to my skills by becoming a qualified forklift driver
I was employed at The Farmshed as a graduate web developer. During my employment, I carried out a number of duties including:
The rebuild process for the new website utilised a number of technologies. The back end was developed using J2EE with Enterprise Java Beans (EJB). The Front end was created using JSP and the mark up was written using semantically structured and valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional. All the presentation was handled using CSS, to fully separate the presentation from the content.
I learned how to:
Attended leadership training as preparation and assisted with the organisation and running of University Orientation Week activities.
As part of my involvement with the web standards community, I was interviewed by Russ Weakley of the Web Standards Group for publication on the WSG web site. Although light hearted in nature, the interview covers subjects related to the use and maintenance of standards for web publishing and the ongoing development of HTML5.
In January 2007, I presented The Future of HTML at a Web Standards Group meeting in Sydney. The presentation gave an overview of the development of HTML5 and demonstrated many of the new features being introduced.

Proceedings of the First Australian Undergraduate Students' Computing
Conference 2003

During my final university year I tutored a first-year student in several subjects including ‘Introduction to IT’, also covering website design and the internals of operating systems.
I learned how to help the student to improve his understanding of the subject material and to manage schedules.
In September 2003, my major project group (Akamai Database) attended AUSCC 03 (http://www.auscc.org/), the inaugural Australian undergraduate students' computing conference; to present a paper we have written on storing complex data structures in object oriented databases. This event was held at Melbourne University’s Information and Communication Technology centre and provided me with valuable experience in public speaking and improved my presentation skills.
Charles Sturt University, Bathurst – graduated May 2004.
Topics studied include:
As part of my IT degree, I completed a major project developing an object-oriented database application for the storage of images and associated data for Akamai, an artificially intelligent vision system.
Completed HSC with a UAI of 75.35%
A Universities Admission Index (UAI) is a linear ranking of students based on their final year performance at high school and is used to help determine their admission to university.
