About

Hi there, I’m Liam Elliott, a .Net Solution Architect based in Sydney Australia. I’ve been developing .Net enterprise applications since 2005, holding various positions from developer to team lead to CTO. Currently, I am a Solution Architect. But I see myself as Chief Problem Solver.

My passion for leadership has led me to complete my Masters of Business Leadership in 2022. These days, I get as much enjoyment from spending time with junior developers, mentoring and offering guidance as I do using the latest technologies.

Hobbies

With the all too convenient, instant gratification of modern life, I firmly believe that to truly appreciate anything one must go back to first principles. From making your own Ice-Cream to Pizza bases and Pasta dough, through to crafting my own beer. For me, understanding the process, the unique characteristics of each ingredient, and the role they play in achieving the final product adds to the enjoyment of the produce. I often say that I far more enjoy the process of making beer than I do drinking it. Taking this philosophy further, I have applied this level of first principles thinking to photography, utilising a large format camera to shoot, process and develop analogue black and white film photos. Allowing this to influence my digital photos.

Since taking up trail running in 2013, I regularly participate in some of the most amazing trail running events These days I have more hobbies than time to pursue them:
