Paul has had an avid interest in computers and robotics ever since reading science fiction novels as a child. His enthusiasm waned when he discovered that the computing course at high school involved punched cards but was rekindled when he received an early discharge from the Royal Australian Air Force.

He immediately embarked on a course of computer studies and within 3 years was cutting his teeth as part of a team programming an offshore navigation system called TRAC-100 for a little known Perth company taking England and Europe by storm.

Later, he returned to Australia and dealt with national mapping data and other databases before starting o’neill.software as an independent consultant.

After a few years, he was lured to Jeanswest with a promise of building a state of the art point of sale (PoS) system. Unfortunately, his endeavours did not quite see the light of day as the project was axed only weeks away from its presentation to the business owners due to the departure of the I.T. Manager and sometime later they closed their Perth office and Paul re-opened o’neill.software once more.

By this time, the personal computer (PC) had become commonplace and his skills were in high demand, often remaining in contracts for years at a time.

Finally, the big break came for o’neill.software when he was contacted by the I.T. Manager at Parliament who needed some new software to be developed. Some 2 years later with a team of 5 other developers, Paul had created a system of Word macros and other functionality which would bring the Western Australian Parliament into the 21st century in terms of productivity, efficiency, and high tech systems.

Since that time, o’neill.software has had many and varied clients both private and government, large and small, and Paul is held in high regard in Perth I.T. circles.

Paul has been a member of BNI Leading Edge, a business networking group since January 2006, and has served one term as president.

In his spare time, Paul devours books on business and technology, and has been known to “blow things up” in his favourite computer games.

Naomi grew up in Kalgoorlie and spent several years working in the mining industry. Some of her jobs involved – engineering drafting, off siding on drill rigs, operating mine site equipment, surveyor’s assistant and site secretary duties before she commenced a career in Real Estate.

In 1995 Naomi moved to Perth and now has over 13 years experience in the Real Estate industry.

For the bulk of that period she worked solely as a Property Manager. Her tasks included the day to day management of properties and overseeing Trust accounts.

She won numerous industry awards in Property Management.

For the final 6 years she was in Real Estate, she also worked part time in sales. This taught her valuable marketing skills.

Naomi brings excellent managerial skills to insilico^TM and is more than capable to oversee the business accounts. She also has excellent client communication skills and marketing ideas that are beneficial to the business.

Naomi has been a member of Soroptimist International of Helena, a professional women’s service group, since 2001 and has served one term as President during that period. She has also been involved in the Hills Business Ladies group – a networking group for professional women.

At the 2009 AGM Naomi was elected as a committe member for the Australian Web Industry Association. She was also subsequently given the role of secretary for her 2 year term.

In her “spare time”, Naomi loves to make cards, scrapbook, read, cook and spend time in the garden. She also regularly attends her local gym and rides her bike around the river. In 2005 and 2007 Naomi participated in the Perth Great Bike Ride completing a 53km ride while fundraising for several charities.

Lee graduated from Curtin University in 2006 with a Degree in Multimedia Design. He originally studied Electrical Engineering, as he was a bit of an ace at maths, but decided it wasn’t for him. So he switched from rote learning to creative design and has never regretted the change.

Besides the fact he really enjoys web design, it allows him to hang out with people with similar interests. Try explaining 3-dimensional renders, layer masking or the specs of the latest graphics card to an Electrical Engineering student … just about impossible (there are a few rare exceptions).

Before working at insilico^TM, Lee worked his way up in the hospitality industry. Why did he work in something so different to Multimedia design? It was available, it was flexible (especially with uni) and it gave him the chance to spend long nights at the bar chilling with foreigners and downing a multitude of cold beers.

It also inspired Lee to travel for the first half of 2007. Egypt, Turkey, France, Germany and the United Kingdom are just some of the places he visited. Lee says “Best time of my life. But the sunny shores of Perth were beckoning, so back I came … and thankfully into the loving arms of insilico^TM (there’s no better feeling than spending all your money on a holiday and coming home to a brand new job, especially when the job rocks).

As well as playing club soccer, Lee juggles his spare time looking after 5 pets (a dog, two cats and two guinnea pigs), chillaxing with the girlfriend and mates, or vegging on the couch for some much needed recuperation (its a tough life!!!).

Are you the next big thing in software development or web design? Are you interested in working for a professional and friendly company such as insilico^TM?

If so, then don’t hesitate to contact us. We are always interested in the new generation of developers and designers.
