G'day, I'm Chris 👋
I build your thing.
The custom web app you've been meaning to get built. The dashboard that pulls your data into one place. The AI tool that does the boring bit for you. Designed around how your business actually works - not how some off-the-shelf product thinks it should.

What I build
Software that fits your business
Custom web apps
The workflow that currently lives in three spreadsheets and one person's head, turned into something your whole team can use.
Dashboards & data tools
Your numbers, live, in one place - instead of exported, emailed, and out of date by Tuesday.
AI-powered tools
Automation for the repetitive stuff: document processing, data extraction, drafting, categorising. The tasks nobody wants and everybody has.
Recent work
Built and shipped
Practice management software for a law firm
A custom system handling matters, documents, and workflow for a legal practice - replacing a patchwork of tools with one that fits how they run.
Scheduled outage alerts
A system that tracked planned power outages, pinpointed the businesses in each affected area using mapping and location data, and gave them a heads-up before the lights went out - turning a disruptive surprise into a manageable one.
Fuel Tracker
A live fuel-price tracker for Queensland drivers, collecting and serving price data around the clock. Built end-to-end: data pipeline, API, and app.
How it works
Three steps, no drama
We talk.
A free 30-minute call. You tell me the problem in plain English - no spec document required. If I'm not the right fit, I'll tell you that too.
I build.
Clear scope, clear price, regular demos as it comes together. You'll never wonder what's happening.
You own it.
Your software, your code, your data. No lock-in, no ransom, no "per-seat pricing surprise" two years in.
About
The person behind the keyboard
I'm an Aussie software engineer from Brisbane with over 15 years of experience building software - from scrappy internal tools to systems used by millions. By day I build video and AI tooling at Microsoft. On the side, I help small businesses get software that actually fits.
I've been writing about software since 2015 - you can dig through the archive on the blog.
FAQ
The questions everyone asks
What does it cost?
Depends on the thing. Small tools start in the low thousands; bigger builds are scoped and priced up front so there are no surprises. The call is free either way.
How long does it take?
Most projects ship a first working version in 2–6 weeks. You'll see progress from week one.
What if I don't know exactly what I need?
That's normal - most people don't. Describing the problem is enough; figuring out the right shape of the solution is part of what you're paying me for.
Who owns the result?
You do. Code, data, accounts - all yours.
Got a thing that needs building?
Thirty minutes, no obligation, no jargon. Worst case, you leave with a clearer idea of what you need.
