Things I’ve Done

Formerly a Software Engineer at Qantas working in Java 8/Springboot and C++11/Boost for deployment on AWS. Involved with:

• Flight Path Optimisation team attached to the Constellation; Qantas’ flight planning system.
• EFF+ (Electronic Flight Folder Plus); Qantas’ in house developed iPad-based electronic flight bag (EFB) solution.

Within Western Sydney University’s Artificial Intelligence Research Group I explored practical applications of Answer Set Programming (ASP) in privacy management. Using the Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) model I developed a collection of formal frameworks, expressed in ASP, covering policy expression, evaluation, and update. This research produced a number of conference publications and presentations which can be found via dblp.

During this time I was also employed as a Casual Academic by the University. I was involved in teaching a wide range of topics including:

• Operating systems
• Information security
• Web applications, and
• Programming.

This entailed various duties such as lecturing, running tutorials, marking of assessments, and exam supervision.
