We build software that works on day one — and we'll be here on day 1,000 when it needs us.
Over a decade of building, breaking, and fixing real software — for companies that need a team who won't quit when it gets hard.

Clients we've ghosted
If any of these sound like your situation, we should talk.
You've got an idea and it needs to be built properly — not hacked together by the cheapest option and hoped for the best. We ship production-ready web apps, cloud platforms, AI tools, and MVPs that hold up under real users on day one. We've learned what works by shipping plenty of things that didn't — and every lesson made the next build better.
That system your last developer left behind? The one everyone's afraid to touch, with zero documentation and a deployment process held together by hope? We've made a career out of these. We'll fix it, modernize it, and make sure you're never held hostage by bad code again.
You know something needs to change but you're not sure what — and the last thing you need is someone selling you a solution before they understand the problem. We'll figure it out together, and we'll be honest if the answer is 'you don't actually need us.'
Sometimes the best engagement is the one that never becomes a project — because a single conversation saved you six months and $100k building the wrong thing. No agenda, no upsell. Just straight answers from people who've been here before.
Not sure which one you need? Neither are most of our clients at first.
That's exactly what the first call is for — and it's free.
Sound familiar?
Our developer left and nobody understands the codebase.
We need to ship this quarter but the team's stretched too thin.
I've been quoted a fortune for something that feels like it should be way simpler.
I just need someone technical I can trust to tell me what to actually do.
If you nodded at any of these — that's exactly why we exist.
— We do our best thinking outside. Keeps the ideas honest.
Track record
We don't do hypothetical case studies. Here's where we've built, shipped, and led — and what happened.
Workplace Management Platform
Thousands of businesses worldwide
Took ownership of the entire engineering function for a global SaaS product. Led a complete codebase rewrite, built the team from scratch, mentored developers from junior to senior level, and kept the platform rock-solid through a major acquisition and every curveball that came with it. Still leading it today.
Legacy Modernization
Faster software, zero knowledge loss
Inherited legacy systems that were actively holding the business back. Modernized the entire codebase, built scalable replacements, and provided hands-on customer support. Left them with software they could actually maintain — and a team that understood how it worked.
Enterprise Consulting · 6 Years
Comvita, Zespri, Trustpower, Craigs, Seeka
Six years embedded with some of New Zealand's biggest household names. Azure cloud migrations, integration modernization, and bespoke software — much of which is still running in production today, years after we shipped it. Not many teams can say that.

Our process
Fair enough. We've earned our scars. Here's exactly how every engagement works — no surprises, no scope creep, no vanishing acts.
Free, no obligation. You tell us what's going on, we tell you honestly whether we can help — and roughly what it would cost. If we're not the right fit, we'll say so. No awkward follow-up emails.
We scope it together so there are zero surprises. You'll know the timeline, the cost, and exactly what 'done' looks like — before we write a single line of code.
Working software in your hands every single week. Things won't always go perfectly — we've been doing this long enough to know that. But when they don't, we adapt fast, communicate honestly, and keep shipping. You're never left wondering what's happening.
That's it. Three steps.
No 12-page proposals. No procurement hoops. And if we're not the right fit, we'll tell you — and point you to someone who is.
— Rooted in New Zealand. Reaching everywhere.
BSc Computer Science · Agile Certified (ICP) · 3x Hackathon Champions
We grew up on farms all over New Zealand — the kind of places where if something breaks, you figure it out with baling twine and whatever's lying around. That number 8 wire mentality stuck. We brought it to software, and after 12 years and more mistakes than we'd care to count, we can honestly say it's the reason our clients keep coming back. Not because we never screw up — but because when we do, we fix it before you've even noticed.
What that means for you: we don't pad timelines, we don't recommend rebuilds when a patch will do, and we don't disappear when things get messy. When something breaks at 2am — and it will eventually — we're the ones who'll be up fixing it. We've never walked away from a problem, and we're not about to start now.
We didn't get here by being perfect.
We got here by showing up every single time
— especially when things went wrong.
12 years. Plenty of mistakes. Every single one of them fixed. And zero clients who'd hesitate to work with us again.

We read your message and reply within 24 hours
We give you an honest assessment — what we'd do, rough cost, timeline
If we can help, we suggest a clear next step
If we can't, we'll point you to someone who can
