“I had the honour to work as part of Xeres’s cross-functional app development team at Cochlear. Here he led the development of Cochlear’s flagship mobile app that monitors and controls patients’ implants. Xerx is an inspirational leader and mentor, a creative thinker and an all-round top bloke. He has an unflappable and pragmatic approach to solving problems. We collaborated on various projects where his boundless knowledge, stakeholder management skills and ability to empathise with the end user allowed us to create elegant and accessible solutions for complex problems. As a broad-minded team leader, his exceptional workflow, skills, creativity and comprehension of change requests made working with him an absolute pleasure. If given the chance, I would have no doubt about working with Xerxes once again in the future.”
About
I am a customer-oriented and originative software engineering leader who derives the greatest satisfaction in leading teams—with contagious passion—in identifying, pursuing, developing and launching software solutions and products that deliver positive benefits to the public.
Drawing on over 20 years of well-rounded experience within the mobile, desktop and web and server application development space across many industries, I understand the challenges and nuances involved in leading teams and ensuring the successful delivery of technology solutions that meet customers’ needs. In developing software solutions for product-centric, boutique agency and software as an accessory business models, I delivered outstanding results:
► Delivered the innovative next-generation bionic eye system for the leading retinal prosthesis being developed in Australia.
► Launched Cochlear’s game-changing, flagship mobile product—Nucleus Smart App—to cochlear implant recipients
► Achieved annual savings of AUD $500K to $1M in software development labour costs
► Promoted 4x—from software developer to software director—within the last 15 years
► Inventor of 2 technology patents for implantable devices
One of my key strengths is building genuine relationships with customers, colleagues, executives and external parties. Combined with my understanding of technology planning and integration, business operations and team leadership, I am able to balance the needs of the customer with UX design and product functionality that adds meaningful value to peoples’ lives while boosting a company’s products and services to dominant positions in highly competitive markets.
I am a true believer that people—employees and customers—are the lifeblood of an organisation. My efforts are strongly focused on building positive relationships with customers and our partners as a leading tool for identifying needs and providing solutions to facilitate business success. Through this approach, I have mobilized and grown successful technology teams based on these standards.
