Our Team

Darren is our co-founder, CEO and qualified Physiotherapist - he brings years of vital and invaluable insight and experience gained by owning and managing successful multi-location brands of allied health practices around the globe.

If Darren could only have one app on his computer, it would be Nookal (of course) - but Microsoft Excel would be a very close second. We dare not challenge him to a spreadsheet showdown… we’re still recovering from the last one.

An insatiable desire for exercise means that his day starts with a trip to the gym to beat yesterday’s best, followed by an epic daily to-do list of details that matter when keeping Nookal in peak performance.

He loves studying behavioural patterns and it shows with his go-to movie, The Social Network.

Jamie is our co-founder and Chief Technology Officer, he keeps a very close eye-for-detail on our infrastructure and networking. His years of technical experience are critical to ensuring we are always delivering you top-notch reliable and secure practice management software.

If Jamie was to appear in a talent show, his special skill would be landing a light aircraft by instruments-only on a really foggy day. We know that’s totally worthy of the golden buzzer from all three judges.

Jamie’s way to start a day begins with an epic walk or run alongside a furry family member, before pressing play on his classic rock playlist to help focus on the details that keep Nookal running smoothly for you.

He gets the need (the need for speed) from his go-to movie, Top Gun.

James leads our development by planning and delivering new and exciting features across the Nookal platform to help your business grow. He also loves researching and experimenting with cutting edge technology to make sure we’re leading the way in software development.

If James was in charge of dinner, he would serve you a vindaloo so hot that you cry. We promise you that he’s definitely not a sadist, he just likes it spicy.

An avid reader of the latest world news at breakfast, he doesn’t have any problems being productive with the rest of his day - you’ve just got to be able to stop him. A day off for James means reading, playing his guitar and exercising.

With a brilliant mind just like Tony Stark, his go-to movie is Avengers: Infinity War.

Ruta brings her personal touch to your adventures with us, focusing her strengths to make sure we can help you reach your goals. From your first encounter with us, to your 50th encounter, Ruta intends to make sure your journey is unforgettable.

If Ruta had to prioritise her bucket list, the #1 item would be to visit the motherland, Africa. We know it would take a lot to drag her away from us, but when there’s nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do - you send Ruta to get it sorted.

It has to be super strong coffee to drag Ruta towards the office in the morning, but once she’s here, lists are made, playlists are started and her game face is on. All to ensure that we get you from A to B with smooth satisfaction.

Hoping for a golden ticket, her go-to movie is Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.

Saransh is responsible for making sure Nookal is easy to use and keeping your daily journey quick and smooth. He aspires to ensure that we are bringing you the most beautiful pixel-perfect software that we can.

If Saransh won the lottery, you would find him in the sun at his new beach house. We just hope he doesn’t invite his friends Richard and Larry around for the weekend.

Binging his YouTube design and coding subscriptions alongside a cup of coffee and some aaloo paratha inspires Saransh to keep bringing the beauty to your favourite practice management software.

Darkness is his ally, especially with his go-to movie, The Dark Knight Rises.

Danny guides and personalises your introduction into the world of smart cloud-based practice management software to help lead you towards your goals and successes. He bends over backwards to make sure your team is educated and up-to-date with our latest developments.

His list of professional accomplishments includes an undefeated win of a 5th-grade spelling bee. That’s B-E-E and if we had to use it in a sentence, we would say “Danny annihilated his classmates in the spelling bee.”.

Danny’s day starts in a meditative state, followed by a cup of hot water and a banana. He then takes 5 deep breaths before he gets down to business helping build trustworthy and reliable relationships with your healthcare team.

Like a Lou Diamond Phillips in the rough, his go-to movie is A Better Way to Die.

Kevin focuses his talents behind-the-scenes of Nookal with a lot of core functionality, API development and integrations. When he’s not working on new features for you, he’s busting bugs faster than your local 5-star exterminator.

If Kevin had to pick a favourite entry from the dictionary, it would be “discombobulated”. We’re a bit confused and worried as to why that word is so special to him though…

He uses his email inbox as a jump start for his brain first up in the morning - and then hits it with the old coffee and toast one-two combo before selecting one of his carefully curated playlists that inspire his best work in health clinic software.

Even if he was a replicant (we’re not sure if he is), his go-to movie would still be Blade Runner.

Loren is an enthusiastic problem-solver who loves to help you with a wide range of Nookal topics to make sure your team is at the top of their game. She brings compassion and knowledge along with a keen eye for detail to our support team.

If Loren could choose a superpower, she’d like to be invisible. We haven’t decided if that’s because she likes to do good deeds without reward, or so she could pretend to haunt her friends.

A quick adventure in the outdoors gets her day started, then precision scheduling keeps Loren steady, on-target and delivering exceptional support to your team, before returning to the gymnastics arena to wind down.

The outdoor adventures continue with her go-to movie, Singing in the Rain.

Kane directs your daily user experience through the Nookal interface by designing new features and refining existing ones. He endeavours for a strong understanding of your needs to make sure we keep everything user-centric.

If Kane had to pick a holiday destination, it would be Japan. He says it’s for the culture, but we know that it’s really because they have fast cars, neons and drift competitions - and he’s too fast to be furious.

Since Kane’s not allowed to sleep-in, multiple back-to-back coffees get him up and going long enough to turn the 80s hits up to 11 so that he can focus on leading the way to bring you exciting new clinic software tools.

It’s definitely no problemo for him to pick his go-to movie, Terminator 2.

Laura makes a difference to your day by helping you with quick and easy practice management solutions throughout your Nookal experience. No matter what level of Nookal knowledge you have, she strives to share new masterful skills with you.

If Laura wasn’t so good at her job, you would probably find her as a professional dog-mum. But we know that she would play favourites with the mini-poodles...

Her day starts with a bottomless cup of coffee, before a never-ending supply of coffee, and then finishing with a coffee supply that never runs out - all in aid of bringing you the best and fastest answers you’re looking for.

In honour of other remote workers around the world, her go-to movie is The Thing.

Morgan is our conversion coordinator who helps you through the process of transferring your data into your brand-spanking-new Nookal account. He also works in our customer support team to make sure you’ve got all the answers you need.

If Morgan had to choose between dogs and cats, he says that he would pick dogs. But we’re not totally convinced, because he has a very curious nature… like a cat.

He loves to start his day with coffee, before putting on some rock ‘n roll or hip hop to kickstart his to-do list. In his spare time, Morgan loves a good table-top game with a sprinkling of intrigue, which is what makes him suited to solving mysteries for you.

A man of prime childhood nostalgia, his go-to movie is Transformers from 1986.

Sam makes sure that you receive the best practice management software that we can deliver. Her self-proclaimed general awesomeness helps to coordinate the testing, release and updates to Nookal in collaboration with our development team.

If Sam was to annoy her coworkers by listening to a song on constant repeat, her ballad of choice would be Zombie by The Cranberries. It really gets stuck “in your head” - and we would know...

The trifecta of reading, music and gaming keeps her sane, and a plethora of different to-do lists make sure Sam keeps those Nookal updates coming for you, before finishing her day off devouring some tasty Indian cuisine.

If she was, to be frank about it, then her go-to movie would be Donnie Darko.

Catherine, a qualified Physiotherapist, curates our compiled collection of concise commands constructed for customers. This roughly translates to her leading the way with our epic help desk full of knowledge and wisdom, all ready to help your clinical team find solutions fast.

If Catherine could pick anywhere in the world for her next holiday, it would be the legendary Antwerps Sportspaleis velodrome. But we know that means she would want to take her aerodynamic carbon-fibre fixed gear bike along for the trip…

Starting her day with a jog, followed by poached eggs, avocado and toast (the breakfast of champions), Catherine surveys her list of topics before venturing forth in a quest to impart practice management wisdom for all.

Just like a chariot of fire, her go-to movie is The Flying Scotsman.

Shannon is our qualified Accountant who makes sure that all of our numbers make cents in your Nookal account. With her many years of experience in different finance sectors around the world, she crosses all the T’s and dots all the I’s.

If Shannon was stuck on a desert island, she would... have taken a different plane. We really need to rethink that interview question.

A single smooth roasted coffee gives her the power she needs to get her day started, and an ambient chillout playlist secures Shannon’s focus on all the numbers and calculations that make Nookal amazing in your clinic.

It wouldn’t be inconceivable to think that her go-to movie is, The Princess Bride.

Megan develops, implements and refines the visual parts of the Nookal experience to make sure that everything you need is easy for you to find and use. Anything we can do to improve your efficiency and productivity, it’s on Megan’s list.

If Megan was holding the TV remote, you’d probably find yourself watching an episode of Friends. She’s competitive like Monica, and likes creative writing like Chandler, so we’re not really sure which is her favourite...

Grabbing a slice of toast while making a checklist for the day, she then closes all the unimportant browser tabs before focusing on how we can keep you focused throughout your day.

If the beacons are lit, her go-to movie is The Lord of the Rings.

Allie is a systematic developer who brings the analytical power to Nookal, striving to ensure we’re aligned with your business and making sure your practice management needs are met quickly and consistently.

If Allie was to challenge you to a dance-off, you would be busting a move to What Does The Fox Say by Ylvis. We’re still not sure what the Fox says though… wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow!

A quick early-morning 100m swim, a glass of kale juice, and scrambled egg-whites gets him ready to go and focused on all the moving parts that make Nookal easy-to-use for you and your team.

A force to be reckoned with, his go-to movie is Return of the Jedi.

Baljit is a solution-orientated software developer who delivers the magic behind the scenes, constantly setting the bar to bring you an amazing Nookal experience. She strives to make sure we understand your needs when it comes to practice management.

If Baljit was to challenge you to a sports showdown, you’d most likely be looking at her from the other side of a badminton court. Considering the high level of agility, speed and precision in her work, we sure don’t want to be on the receiving end of her serve.

A cup of tea in the morning and a mantra of positivity gets Baljit psyched up while she prioritises how she’s going to refine the best practice management software the world has to offer. And like a true trendsetter, she loves to stay ahead of the game on social media.

Not a fan of mystery or intrigue, her go-to movie is [REDACTED].

Craig leads our customer support team by creating a happy and productive environment so that we can bring you the best clinic software support possible. He aims to find the right outcomes and balance for our team and customers.

If Craig had to tell you about his favourite book, it would be James and the Giant Peach, because (apparently) that was the first book he read. But there must be more juice to this story, as we know that both he and Mr Dahl served time with the RAF.

A cup of tea and some toast is all Craig needs before he starts making sure we’re putting our best foot forward in customer service. He collects everything he encounters into a list, ensuring all the details are done.

Like the guardian angel of our team, his go-to movie is It’s a Wonderful Life.

Austin crafts the Nookal story and keeps you up-to-date on our latest developments by leading our marketing team. If you’ve ever searched for practice management software and found Nookal, then you’ve seen his work.

If Austin had to pick one song to play every time he entered a room, it would be Nelly vs. the Bee Gees - Stayin’ Hot. We’re not sure what instigated his strange love of mashups, but if you find yourself within earshot at 4pm on a Friday then you’re in for a treat run for cover.

Never starting two subsequent days the same way keeps him on his toes and ready to bring you the latest news in the exciting world of clinic software.

Just like the size of his ego, his go-to movie is The Incredibles.
