VOCATION

TIMELINE

2014-NOW

Educational Technologist 

Wooranna Park Primary School 
Australia's first "School on the Blockchain"

"Under Kieran’s leadership, Wooranna Park Primary School (WPPS) has established itself as an exemplar in introducing the digital world to students. The school has led the way in establishing a ‘24/7 International Virtual Learning Environment’ in Minecraft, Victoria’s first CoderDojo, Australia’s first Immersive Education Club (iED Club), the World’s youngest Cisco class, and the very first ‘School on the Blockchain’" - edutech.NET.AU


2012- 2014

Cloud Migration Architect  

Saint Columba Port Macquarie
Australia's first "School in the Cloud"

"In 2012, St. Columba migrated to Google Apps for Education. “We rolled it out as a tandem system, so people could choose between using Google Apps or the old local drives system,” Richards says. “Just about everyone began using Google Apps – Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Drive. Google apps was easy, accessible and enabled collaboration. It made teaching and learning easier. Teachers kept using it.” - Matt Richards director of eLearning

 

2007-2011

Network Engineer

Catholic Education Victoria

Australia's first "School in DropBox"

Soon after the launch of Dropbox (2008), we began the process of going totally paperless and migrating away from SAMBA share.

"The idea behind Dropbox, which officially enters into private beta today (with 200 invitations available for TechCrunch readers, each of which provides a free 5GB of storage), is that little to no effort should be put into keeping your desktop files synced with “the cloud”. So the three founders have built a Python-based desktop client (available for both PCs and Macs) that acts like a regular folder on your machine."    Mar 12, 2008 - Tech Crunch 



 

2003 - 2007

EB Games Manager

The #1 performing EB Games of the 7,117 stores worldwide.

"According to Nintendo, the largest of last night's launches was held at EB Games' Chadstone store in Melbourne, featuring "dress up competitions, Wii tennis tournaments, prizes and giveaways". - Sydney Morning Herald

QUALIFICATIONS

Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) Routing and Switching certification validates the ability to plan, implement, verify and troubleshoot local and wide-area enterprise networks and work collaboratively with specialists on advanced security, voice, wireless and video solutions. The CCNP Routing and Switching certification is appropriate for those with at least one year of networking experience who are ready to advance their skills and work independently on complex network solutions. Those who achieve CCNP Routing and Switching have demonstrated the skills required in enterprise roles such as network engineer, support engineer, systems engineer or network technician. The routing and switching protocol knowledge from this certification will provide a lasting foundation as these skills are equally relevant in the physical networks of today and the virtualized network functions of tomorrow.

MCSE: Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert
The globally recognised standard for IT Professionals
Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert is a certification intended for IT professionals seeking to demonstrate their ability to build innovative solutions across multiple technologies, both on-premises and in the cloud.

Google Apps for Education (GAFE) is a core suite of productivity applications that Google offers to schools and educational institutions for FREE. These communication and collaboration apps include Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs and Sites, and a GAFE account unlocks access to dozens of other collaborative tools supported by Google. All of these applications exists completely online (or in the cloud), meaning that all creations can be accessed from any device with an Internet connection. Once a school decides to embrace Google Apps for Education, they can register their school domain (web address), and administer all teacher and student accounts from an administrative dashboard.

The Bachelor of Computer Science involves the use of the most up-to-date technology and methods, and includes a major emphasis on software development. The course is oriented towards applications in areas such as defence, aerospace and medicine, where complex software plays a major role and often of a safety-critical nature; as well as in businesses that require extensive computer support, such as banking and manufacturing.
