About
since 1996I've been solving problems by building systems since I was a kid, and I've made a career of it. I started as an assistant programmer in Sydney in 1996, wrote web apps through the dot-com years, then founded JN Solutions and later sold my share. The company is still running.
In Hong Kong I led development of the order management system at Segantii Capital Management. From 2019 to 2025 I was a Lead Developer (Vice President) at Credit Suisse, staying on through its acquisition by UBS, where I led the rewrite of the bank's investment ideas CMS and distribution tool. Today I'm Head of Product at Numarqe, leading development of all its systems.
Along the way I've brought Agile practices to a lot of teams, trained support staff, pitched to C-level teams, and hosted the Sydney Ruby on Rails meetups.
Simple for the user, flexible enough to be changed, and actually achieves the results that are sought.What I aim for in every system
