Gregory Brine’s Summary
My background on the web spans almost 10 years, starting with HTML, working through senior developer to Team Leader and up to Technical Director, taking an opportunity to cross-train as a Project Manager in a leading digital agency. I have built and managed online solutions in a range of markets including online music, investor relations, non-profit, online publications, legal, social networking and FMCG.
The web changes daily which makes it such a challenging and exciting industry to work in, allowing me to develop strategies to drive new marketing campaigns and ideas based on the new innovations and opportunities. Creating cutting edge web sites that combine the latest technology and techniques with an eye for design that can push what websites can do creatively, engaging the end user, building brands and encouraging social interaction.
With experience and passion, I’ve learnt to stay very close to developments in the web industry, working on CMS solutions, SEO and SEM strategies, viral and banner advertising, e-mail, system development, web services, financial systems, accessibility, campaigns, e-commerce and Facebook applications.
I am driven by new challenges and delivering solutions that exceed technical and creative expectations. I instil in the business the ambition of creating new processes as well as using existing strategies to deliver. My motivation is to ensure I push myself and my team forward, leaning new things.

Gregory Brine’s Experience
-
Business Analyst / Project Manager
Amnesia Razorfish
(Privately Held; Online Media industry)
2008 — Present (1 year )
Amensia brought me in as Project Manager to work on a complex and highly creative music project for Channel [V]. The project was a start to finish build, working closely with the client to identify their requirements and organise 3rd party suppliers, then creating a team internally responsible for building the solution.
The project was run using an Agile methodology at its core, but was adapted to really bring together the creative and technology teams to better suit the agency/client relationship. We delivered the site through a unique, dynamic Ajax interface, that brought together aggregated content from a range of 3rd party sources, including 13 million artists bios, creating the first musical community of its kind in Australia. My role on the project was primarily focused on Project Management, but I also worked on the Strategy, User Experience and IA that made the site a reality. -
Technical Director
Wiliam
(Privately Held; 51-200 employees; Information Technology and Services industry)
April 2006 — August 2008 (2 years 5 months)
I joined Wiliam to establish a front end development team, later stepping up to take over the whole development team. putting together a program to update the company processes and CMS system, working closely with the other teams to identify and refine the web development lifecycle. As part of my team’s development, I took the decision to migrate to ASP.NET C#, and strategically structured them to support future growth of both the team and the company, creating a seperate applications team for larger, more complex projects.
As I evolved within the company, I moved into a more strategic project based role, allowing me to work closely with the client and across all teams within the company. Being involved at the project conception allowed me to identify brand requirements, develop ideas and think long term, working right the way through the design and development process to delivery and beyond. -
Technical Team Leader
JPMH
(Privately Held; 11-50 employees; Marketing and Advertising industry)
December 2004 — December 2005 (1 year 1 month)
Responsibilities: I joined JPMH to stop outsourcing of projects to 3rd parties and increase profitability by building an internal development team, putting processes in place and scheduling work. The initial challenge was creating a development environmnt that had to mirror some very specialised client requirements to allow a smooth process from start to finish. Working with the account managers, we prepared and pitched to clients, writing estimates and bringing in new work. As part of my role, I developed a CMS solution that was used as a base for all clients, and my team gradually upgraded it for each new client. Once the team was running autonomously, I moved into a more strategic role, becoming involved in brainstorming and developing ideas for marketing campaigns and online viral games, briefing in designers and developers.

Senior Developer
The Group
(Privately Held; 11-50 employees; Internet industry)
July 2000 — December 2004 (4 years 6 months)
Responsibilities: Using skills I’d learnt in my own time, I joined the company as a junior developer, quickly showing my ability to understand new technologies and develop solutions to complex problems. I quickly became a senior developer and analysed and built an intranet to meet the companies day to day needs. Later I developed a CMS and CRM software, shifting solutions from a Coldfusion base to ASP. As a senior developer, I helped develop the techniques needed to position the company at the forefront of accessibility in the UK.

Gregory Brine’s Interests:
I enjoy photography, traveling, music, films and reading. Keeping myself in shape by pursuing a variety of outdoor activities including mountain biking, running, scuba diving, golf, skiing, and visiting the gym several times a week to keep myself in shape. I have also just started sailing in Sydney Harbour, and am already hooked on it. Before arriving in Sydney and making the decision to live here, I spent 6 months travelling with a friend around Asia. Being away from home inspired me to take up travel writing whenever I’m away for long periods in places I’ve never been to. I set up my own site, gregory-brine.com, using Wordpress and a custom plugin solution to deliver a very personal site.
