Her research interests include: Digital whistleblowing; Health informatics; Computer security and hacking; Organisational change; Social media for school education.

From http://www.vagrantup.com/about.html: "Vagrant is a tool for building complete development environments. With an easy-to-use workflow and focus on automation, Vagrant lowers development environment setup time, increases development/production parity, and makes the 'works on my machine' excuse a relic of the past."
From Colby Swandale's Linkedin bio: "I currently focus on all aspects of web development from front to backend, server administration and infrastructure design. I love working with technologies such as Linux, BSD, PHP, Ruby, Go-Lang, Perl, Python, Javascript, HTML and CSS for application development and often use frameworks/CMS such as Wordpress, Joomla, Express, Laravel, Codeigniter, Symphony and Ruby on Rails.
I regularly attend PHPMelb and given talks about Vagrant, Codeception and PHP 5.5's password hash api. Often you will also find me browsing Reddit reading whats the latest r/programming or what new exploit has been posted on r/netsec whilst listening to podcasts such as BSD Now, Techsnap and The Vergecast.
