Trent Monahan is a software engineer based in Greater Melbourne with 14 years of experience building practical, user-facing tooling and enterprise solutions. Since joining Telstra in 2017 he has worked across applied IoT and network-focused projects, drawing on strong networking credentials including high-distinction CCNA/CCNP qualifications and a top-3 national finish in Netriders. He contributes to open-source tooling—most notably enhancing a GUI for Valve's Source 2 resource format to browse, extract and preview assets—demonstrating an appetite for solving niche format and UX problems. Trent combines hands-on front-end and full-stack development with a pragmatic understanding of infrastructure, having assessed ICT risk and data-centre migration feasibility during an industry placement. He brings a blend of telecom-scale engineering, practical networking expertise, and a curiosity for game-asset tooling that surfaces useful, often non-obvious, product capabilities.
