Highlights

• Worked on the Starfix.NG multibeam solution, which Fugro’s survey vessels used to collect multibeam sonar data in the search for flight MH370 for the Australian Government from 2014.
• As Starfix.NG grew with plugins and new solutions, spent several years converting the monolith into a service‑oriented architecture of core services such as hardware and geodesy. Led two to three developers, working mainly on the hardware service.
• One of the first developers on Starfix.NG, Fugro’s in‑house real‑time survey data acquisition suite (C#, WPF), from 2007 to about 2012. It replaced Starfix, a set of small C++ programs linked by a message manager, with one package covering codecs, data monitoring, database logging and initial preprocessing. Took part in the initial design and owned sensor hardware initialisation, encoder and decoder set‑up, and visualisation of the collected data.
• Started in 2006 building extensions to Starfix, the earlier C++ acquisition and processing software.
