- Bio
Andrew McClure, (BA English/Media Studies, Post Grad. Dip. Information Technology; CISA - Principal and Technology Lead) is a veteran software/web developer, having graduated in Information Technology from the University of Western Australia in the year that HTTP became a dominant Internet protocol.
He was involved in the development of early database driven websites; and implemented the first dynamic Australian real estate web site. In subsequent years, Andrew has been involved with, or led, many complex web developments. His most recent large undertaking was as systems integrator for the premier NZ website: newzealand.govt.nz.
Andrew has also led a rich career as an independent IT consultant assisting companies with IT procurement, IT security, directory services, mid-range systems deployment and software engineering practices.
In 2008 he left Wellington, NZ to start an alternative lifestyle in Bluff where he refurbished and now runs a guesthouse in a 1873 built hill top villa.
As a software engineer, he now runs a niche development shop focusing on Drupal - we call ourselves Bluff IT - Web and General Software Engineers.
Andrew has a passion for identifying and preparing for changes in the environment and economy. His current projects involve designing and installing a central heating system and building/erecting a vertical access wind turbine.
(Note, the central heating system is now in and working - with a 20 output relay controlling 4 pumps, 3 solenoid valves, 3 hot water tanks, 90 solar tubes, a 5kw wetback and over 100Ms of plumbing. We're up to 14 pages of ladder logic and growing.)
Goal is to grow our niche web development shop, while making our lives here in Bluff ever more sustainable and keep sharing our knowledge.
