Technical Director at Flint Interactive Web Development
Melbourne Area, Australia
Working on hundreds of web projects and enjoying the opportunity to work with a range of great Melbourne design agencies and talented designers, I have been responsible for the core implementation of technical components of many websites. Progressing from freelance into heading up small team development, provided the opportunity to work on an enormous range of projects from small scale websites powered by a CMS, large interactive e-commerce websites to large custom web applications built on complex business rules.
Today, my experience has lead me to become the technical director of Flint Interactive, a Melbourne agency that has developed a highly respected folio of work that pushes creativity and brand experience with technical capability and ease of updating.
As Director this has provided me the opportunity to become stronger in operations, administration and strategy. Coming from a pure programming background I have developed highly flexible enterprise CMS product offerings and coded many highly unique websites - strong on custom business rules and integration into 3rd party systems.
My role is developing further towards strategy and creating a studio environment created around team and culture. Flint Interactive is achieving a strong operational foundation, awesome folio and getting to work with some great brands.
