About

The longer version.

I'm a registered paramedic who has spent most of his life building software. Those two things are usually kept apart, and most of the problems I find interesting live in the gap between them — clinical tools designed by people who've never used them at 3am, and clinical practice that can't quite say what it needs from the technology.

I started with code — writing software and building websites long before it was a job. That turned into systems, networks and IT support, then facilities management, at organisations like the University of Western Australia and Commonwealth Bank. Somewhere in there I learned how large systems actually work, how to run a complex project, and how rarely the people building the technology talk to the people using it.

Then I went on road as an ambulance paramedic, responding to emergencies across Western Australia, and watched that same gap from the clinical side. The systems thinking came with me, and the two halves of my career stopped being separate.

At Corpuls I'm Business Development Manager for Digital Solutions, helping ambulance services and healthcare organisations across the Pacific region adopt digital health and cardiac monitoring technology. Before that I was Clinical Digital Specialist at St John WA, where I was clinical product owner for the electronic patient care record used by more than five thousand clinicians, looked after clinical practice guideline governance and ePCR data stewardship, ran the Corpuls3 monitor upgrade, and was the inaugural IP&C Champion through the worst of COVID.

Outside that: I'm a docent at Perth Zoo, I enjoy hunting down new and delicious bakeries and restaurants, and I build small tools for problems I've run into myself.
