Joe comes to Davidson with an extensive background in both hands-on technology development and strategic implementation, primarily in the fast-paced finance sphere.

Most recently, he worked as a project director for technology transformation at Bank of Queensland and has served at ANZ to facilitate strategic choices in their technology architecture.

Joe will be working with larger clients to shape solutions that cover broader areas of work, rather than just point in time solutions. He has a particular skill for engaging, understanding and communicating needs across different departments within bigger corporations.

``What we’re increasingly looking to do at Davidson is bring more team-based package solutions for key areas of client demand, such as Google Cloud Platform, Salesforce and ERP solutions,’’ Gardiner says. ``And we will be building on that by introducing a major partner for workforce augmentation.’’

Curious by nature, Joe has done some hands-on programming using Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud Platform and is AWS certified as a Solutions Architect. He has a particular interest in the fintech space. He founded online home loan site YouBroker.com.au, which picked up an Australian Web Award for website design earlier this year. He is also completing an MBA at UNSW majoring in Technology.



When he’s not hard at work or studying, Joe enjoys spending time with family and exploring bushwalks in the Gold Coast hinterland and cycling. Don’t tell anyone, but he supports the All Blacks.
