I'm an Australian, based in the Washington, DC, area of the United States. I spend a lot of time there with Jasmine, Australia's best-known speedsolver of the Rubik's Cube. Prior to the US, Jasmine and I were based in London, UK. We have also lived previously in the United States and Australia.
I have worked for an Australian business rules and compliance company since 1999 in Australia, the US and the UK. I have also lectured in IT and Law related topics at King's College, London, and at The Australian National University.
I have some more information and a list of publications available (pop-up window).

Comment spammers are bad people
Over the past several weeks, I have been getting an increasing amount of comment spam to this site. Some of the spammers have been quite persistent, too -- advertising porn and gambling sites in comments almost as fast as I could delete them. Hopefully, I have now fixed the problem. After an afternoon of experimentation today, comments on this site are now being filtered, and attempted posts that run foul of the filter never appear. I might do some further work to present an acid message to users when comments are rejected.
The company where I work has rebranded itself, from SoftLaw to RuleBurst®. The new RuleBurst name better reflects what the company does -- modelling complex rules for analysis and computer execution. See the company's website for more about the name change.
