Professional History

In 2001 I completed a Multimedia Certificate that set a path for me to pursue my interests in creative and interactive development. I started working with 3D animation shortly after completing the course and for the next few years I developed mostly brand animations.

I developed a strong interest in programming and wanted to learn more about computer science in general. I enrolled in a Bachelor of Science degree at Massey University, majoring in Computer Science. During my time at University, I continued working on commercial projects creating 3D brand animations and also started working on creating and delivering interactive and multimedia content for corporate clients.

After completing my degree in 2006, I got a full-time role with RWD Technologies as a Multimedia Developer. During my time with RWD, I have been involved in projects in a variety of responsibilities. Highlights include working out the development procedures, file structures and documentation for the company, to ensure the successful delivery of a large project which required me to assist in hiring and co-leading a team of 13 developers and to deliver the entire project in 3 months. The project was a great success for the client and RWD. After two years with the company, I was appointed Team Leader of the Multimedia Team, which has helped me to obtain another perspective on technical development, individual motivation, and management.

I am currently pursuing an MBA degree at The University of Auckland Business School – Graduate School of Enterprise, following another interest that has taken a back seat for many years – helping individuals excel at their jobs through building, leading and successfully managing (new) enterprises. I believe in people and I believe that given the right environment we can all excel at what we do, creating valuable services and products that will outdo any competitor that is focused solely on the “bottom line” and near-future results. There is much more to business (and life) than revenue and planning 1-3 years ahead. I am pursuing the skills that will allow me to bring these ideas to life.

Some of the companies I have worked with are: Sun Microsystems, Pernod Ricard, Beca, Vodafone NZ, Symantec, Kraft, Toll, ANZ, Merial, Zeacom, RWD, and many others.
