**Founder & Director**  
Translating business goals into software strategy — and keeping every project tied to a real return.

## The Translator  
Founder and Director of Two Red Kites, the Brisbane software consultancy he started in 2013 after nearly four decades in the Australian software industry. Began hands-on as an engineer and now operates at the intersection of business goals and technical reality: scoping the work, translating complex organisational problems into pragmatic software strategy, and bridging executive stakeholders and the development team. Deep roots in the Ruby on Rails and open-source communities — past President of Ruby Australia (2012) and a long-running organiser of Brisbane's Ruby, JavaScript, and coworking meetups — and a long-standing mentor of the next generation of Australian developers.
