People

Ivan Lutrov has over 20 years of hands-on experience as a professional programmer, database designer and systems analyst, and has experience with a number of programming languages, including PHP, JavaScript, VBScript, HTML, Perl, Visual Basic, C, C++, AWK, SQL, Pick Basic, dBase and COBOL.

Ivan continues to skilfully evade the seemingly natural progression to middle management, preferring instead to focus on software design and development, something he claims to truly enjoy. He has worked with an extensive range of databases, including MySQL, Postgress, Oracle, SQL Server, Ingress, Universe, Pick and Access, in Linux and Windows environments. One of his main passions is computer interface usability and he strongly believes that the best computer systems are those which put the user in charge.

“Why is it that virtually all spam I get is trying to sell me baldness cures, weight-loss programs and breast enlarging techniques? How do they know that I’m some fat, balding bloke with a pair of tiny knockers?”

Ivan holds a Graduate Diploma of Business Information Technology from Swinburne University of Technology. He is an outspoken advocate of web standards-driven and accessible design, and is a member of the Web Standards Group. He also enjoys photography, fishing, cricket, tennis, music from the 70’s, cooking, fine wine and knows way too much about movies.
