Brisbane City, Queensland, Australia
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolScot Mcphee is a seasoned platform support engineer with 13 years in airline software and over three decades of varied technical experience, currently ensuring reliability across Virgin Australia’s operational systems. He has progressed from hands-on development and J2EE leadership roles to architecture and platform stewardship, bringing deep domain knowledge of airline operations to complex production environments. Unusually for an engineer, he pairs this practical expertise with advanced scholarship—a PhD in Classics—bringing rigorous research instincts and a long-term perspective to problem solving. Based in Brisbane, he blends systems-level thinking, troubleshooting craft, and a curiosity for historiography, making him equally comfortable debugging mission-critical services or unpacking ancient Republican narratives.
