ABOUT

ABOUT ME

Professionally I am a Software Developer. Although my last position title was Global Head of Information Technology, I still maintained a hands on approach and developed a new Portal handling CRM, Dashboards & Health & Wellbeing features for the company.

Over the last few years I have been developing .Net Core Web Applications, along with WinForm/WPF apps to support background activities like automated Imports / Exports / Sending-Receiving Mail & Sending SMS Texts.

In Addition I create web services and RESTful API’s to support my mobile applications and other projects.

I am currently working as a contractor while I look into opportunities for the future… fun ones. (although my sense of fun might be different to yours lol)

Personally I am interested in propulsion and energy systems and have been learning some SolidWorks and doing some 3D printing on a small home printer.

MY PROJECTS

Some of my personal projects are summarized here on the home page. There are also some additional links below.

WHY NICKIN.SPACE?

My previous web site was located at nickrobinson.id.au, and while I felt this had a very functional and somewhat professional air about it, it never quite seemed engaging.

While it is true, I am not actually in space (not yet), nickin.space seemed a bit more fun and hopefully brings with it an air of engagement and a challenge of sorts… to actually be in space.

MY GARAGE SPACESHIP

MY GARAGE SPACESHIP is a brand new project that I’m working on. In line with inventing a brand new propulsion system, I thought I would start trying to build a futuristic spaceship specifically designed to utilize my propulsion system.

I was always going to document the build, but now I am looking at sharing that on YouTube. This will create the opportunity to meet like-minded people and also open the project to get help from those who ahve specific skills that will bring about a better result.

Although it will need some of things we have come to accept as standard in aircraft, just as the Dragon Crew Captule is different to an airplane, my spaceship will also be different to both of those. Will it one day fly? Stick around and find out!

AFTER MOON FALL

FALLING BY NICK THEORY

FALLING is the first book in the AFTER MOON FALL series and follows a group of survivors brought together through an extinction level event.

In the true spirit of traditional science fiction the After Moon Fall series binds the self discovery of the survivors with the exploration of new technologies in the search for a better tomorrow.

Paperback & Kindle

PATHWAY OF PROMISE

BY HAZEL ROBINSON

Pathway of Promise is the autobiography of Hazel Robinson. Hazel was legally blind for most of her life, but this never stopped her seeing the wonder all around her.

I have published this book just as it was written many years ago, in remembrance of Hazel who loved to write.

Note: Pathway of promise is only available in Paperback at this time.

BOOK OF SHADOWS

The Book of Shadows is a mobile application for the iPhone which I developed with my partner Jacqui.

Jacqui had collected a lot of information on Herbs, Crystals and Essential Oils as well as a wealth of information on Wicca.

I loved the idea of creating something very different from my daily business applications, and here we are.

One of the most notable deviations from my normal app development was creating all of the graphics as 3D models using DAZ3D and rendering them in high resolution. The rendered images were then integrated into my normal workflow using Fireworks and Photoshop. This approach provided the app with a very coherent theme, relevant earthy colors and a great user experience.
