Paul holds a B. Eng Comp Sys (Curtin University), he is a member of the Omnis Technical committee and is considered one of the foremost Omnis developers in Australia.

Growing up Paul was originally from Cleveland, Queensland and moved to Pingelly, WA in his high school years. High School is where his passion for programming took off, prompting him to move to Perth in 1987 to pursue computer studies. Paul concluded his four-year contract as a SCADA engineer in 1996 to focus on expanding Logical Developments.

Paul designed and implemented the modular system that forms the backbone of the Logical Developments' software solution. The modular system is a dynamically arranging system built so that we can create something once and then re-use it as a module for multiple solutions. He also designed the mobile framework which is the basis of our hybrid mobile systems, using Omnis' "jsClient" technology. This allows mobile and web solutions to use the same security model as our desktop software.
