Lately I've been working with Alfresco ECM and on smartphone development. I've released the following iPhone Apps: MarginCalc, VoiceCalc, VoiceCount and iClaim (for Just Car Insurance, available from the Australian iTunes App Store). I've been taking a keen interest in jQuery Mobile which I feel is a great platform for enterprise smartphone development. I'm an open source technology evangelist and I provide coaching and support to Java developers. Some of my recent clients include ASB Bank, The Warehouse, Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry and 2Degrees. In my spare time I tinker with Graphic Design and build gadgets out of Arduinos and Picaxe microcontrollers. If you play Battlefield 3 you've probably shot at me a few times.
