When I am not too busy, I work on my private startup projects, writing actual lines of code.  Launchpad is my latest baby, I left IBM Research Australia to create my own lab inside Deakin University and create tomorrows greatest Software Engineers, we find raw talents, we mix them with professionals, and we deliver products to clients at a fraction of the cost.
