Senior🎓
Top SchoolD Cummings is a Principal Software Engineer based in Queensland with 15 years of experience building domain-focused systems that blend software, engineering and data—most recently leading development of AESOP, a pump-hydro and hydrogen optimisation model that integrates pricing, storage and weather forecasting. He runs Triptera, teaches Python and machine learning to hundreds of learners, and has a long history of hands-on full‑stack and back-end work from ERP and web architectures to embedded data collection for industrial gear. His open-source contributions show attention to practical UX and interoperability (improving AjaxAutoComplete compatibility) and creative back-end features (expanding the RaspberryJuice Minecraft Pi API). Comfortable moving between chemistry, mathematics, accounting and dev-ops, he repeatedly turns cross-disciplinary problems into deployable, well-tested software. Equally at home coaching beginners as shipping production systems, he combines entrepreneurial ownership with technical depth in niche engineering domains.
