About Me

I am currently with Siemens IT Solutions and Services as a consultant after pursuing my Masters by research in Engineering and Computer Science at UNSW. As part of the Knowledge Management (KM) Team at Siemens, I deal with the functional aspect of Content and Information Management Systems. These includes various Technologies like Microsoft SharePoint and Open Text Livelink.

My previous full time job prior to my studies, was as a manager and technical consultant at Cornet Technologies. My scope of work at Cornet Technologies deals with Microsoft technologies for enterprise application development. The areas I work on included web services, workflow, information retrieval and management. It also includes R&D work to develop frameworks and methodologies used at Cornet Technologies for various service oriented applications used by our clients.

Other specific domain knowledge I have accumulated from working on various projects, includes shipping, transport, CRM and Content/Information management. My other areas of technical expertise include systems built on J2EE (JEE) architecture. Much of this experience consists of using open source and IBM tools/products for industrial projects during my stay at the WIZ (Web Services Innovation Zone) and PATH (Web Services Pilot and Trial Hotspots) Assessment Centre in Nanyang Polytechnic where I worked as a Development Technologist. 

My other related interest includes Semantic Web Technologies on which I did a related topic (Digital Heritage for south pacific cultural museums) in a research course during my undergraduate coursework in 2005 at The Australian National University. I was also involved in a semantic web related year-long project (Collaborative Annotation System) for The Distillery (Australia) whereby we developed an annotation service extension for their InterQuest Analytics product.
