Education

·       Currently enrolled in a Masters of Philosophy (in intelligent transportation systems)

 

 

·       Previously completed a B.Eng Microelectronic Engineering with 1st Class Engineering Honours

 

 

·       Published a number of papers relating to different aspects of control engineering

 

 

·       Completed several industry courses in HPUX among other things

 

 

Experience

 

My experience thus far is dominated by two fields.  Control Theory and Computer systems support/engineering.  Previous positions include (among others):

 

·       2/3rd line Support System for Hewlett Packard.  Responsible for commissioning new customers and providing systems support for a new ISP. The site was a HPUX/NT/Win2000 site with strong systems integration and heavy internet security

 

·       Senior Systems Engineer/Site Architect for the Queensland Police Service, responsible for the design, implementation and maintenance of midrange HP-UX systems (UNIX). Team leader of a group of 4 persons. Responsible for the overall direction of QPS computing infrastructure

 

·       Designed control system for a quadruped robot using distributed processing over 5 PIC processors, stepper, servo and pneumatic actuators. Required particular consideration of control systems theory, heat dissipation, power efficiency and sensor technology

 

·       Automated Telstra's radio prediction software (UNIX based and written in C) and enhanced the user interface of this software. Carried out radio predications (for mobile phone towers) and signal strength surveys for both AMPS and GSM systems. Installation and maintenance of communications systems

 

 

Skills and Knowledge

 

My core skill set is currently positioned around the support and design of UNIX (HPUX) systems.  I have experience in a wide range of technologies, for example:

 

·       Networking – TCP, X25, SNA, NFS, NIS, DNS, LDAP

·       Operating Systems – HPUX, Solaris, Linux, Mac, NT/Win2000

·       Disk Technologies – LVM, EMC, XP256, RAID

·       WEB Services – Imail, Apache, Zeus

·       Security – Raptor, Checkpoint

·       Monitoring/Management – Servicedesk, ITO, OMNIBACK, OPENVIEW, ISS

·       Languages – Matlab, C/C++, Visual Java, Shell, Pbasic, HTML

 

 

Among my skills out side Systems Design are:

 

·       Design –IC, FPGA, Semi-custom IC’s, PCB’s, Logic

·       Engineering – Concurrent Engineering Practices

·       Signals/Systems – Filters (Digital and Analogue), Detection/Recognition

·       Control Theory – Digital and Analogue control

·       Mathematical Modelling – MatLab (plus tool boxes), C
