Hi Guys Steve Dalton here, Lurker on this list - only just getting around to posting.
I have been in this game for about 12 years. I started off in the UK at IBM, then 3Com, coding embedded software for Switches/Routers. I moved into business software and the web just in time for the first dotcom boom and then moved here to Australia (Sydney) in 2000 where I worked for at my first startup... which failed... lot's of lessons learned (was interesting to look up at it all happening around us from our lowly programming positions). Was doing a lot of C/C++/Tuxedo around this time a crossed over into a good Java/C++ developer (via BEA) and did some work at the SFE and a bank for several years, before moving up to the Gold Coast 3 years ago. Since moving up to QLD, I've been working mostly for Government in Brisbane, but more recently have been working locally and hooked up with Lee Butts & Rob Nielsen to form another company Refactor - http://refactor.com.au We do Agile Web development with Groovy/Grails mostly, but also do plain Java/J2EE/Spring and Ruby on Rails. I've also been doing a fair bit of Scrum lately and I've managed to stumble into become a ScrumMaster which is something I never planned on getting into - but find it quite interesting. We have a few product ideas that we are working on - but at the moment we are mostly just doing consultancy. Personally I am a bit of a Linux nut and will be at OSDC and LCA this year if anyone wants to catch up with me. I am on twitter as @spidie if you want to follow me. Steve ps. Me and Lee are hoping to come to the December meetup assuming it's on - just so happens to coincide with the end of OSDC. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Silicon Beach Australia" group.
