Summary
Marc White is a Senior Software Specialist with a decade of experience building and maintaining web services, virtual observatory tools, data reduction pipelines and scheduling software for astronomical surveys at The Australian National University. He combines a PhD in Astronomy and Astrophysics with hands-on engineering, currently on secondment to ACCESS‑NRI to improve data access and cataloguing systems. Comfortable spanning research and production, he’s equally at home crafting robust back-end services, deploying VO standards, and tuning survey schedulers. Outside work he channels his unresolved astronomy habit into practical projects and spends spare time organising a growing community sport, revealing a knack for turning technical coordination skills into people-focused outcomes.
