In addition, Justin holds a Master of Business Administration from the Australian Graduate School of Management and graduate level engineering acoustics training from Penn State University.

1-Page, where Justin is head of APAC, helps enterprises around the world to drive innovation through next generation talent acquisition, as well as supporting the global workforce by providing the tools to pitch their unique value to companies beyond the resume. Justin is responsible for the research, development and implementation of 1-Page scientific and technological platforms, and the development of APAC markets.

Justin brings over fifteen years of management and high tech experience, in areas ranging from research and development engineering, analog and digital signal processing, embedded systems development, product management, high speed digital networks, large scale entertainment systems, mobile and web application deployment, and interactive multimedia installation technologies.

Justin holds two U.S. Patents, four pending U.S. Patents, and has written a number of technical papers within these areas of research.
