Custom software & integrations
Sometimes the off-the-shelf product gets you ninety percent of the way and the last ten percent is the part that matters. That's where custom software and integrations come in. I'm a senior software engineer who builds custom-built tools, APIs, and integrations for Australian small businesses — properly scoped, built to last, and explained in plain English.
Fixed scope where possible · from $165/hrMake your systems talk to each other
Two tools that should share data but don't is one of the most common — and most fixable — problems I see. I build the API integrations and connections that move information automatically between the systems you rely on, so your store, your CRM, your accounting, and your forms all stay in sync without anyone re-typing anything.
Shopify and e-commerce work
If you're on Shopify and hitting the limits of themes and apps, custom work opens it back up — performance fixes, Buy Button embeds, app connections, and scoped behaviour changes that the standard setup won't do. The goal is a faster store that works the way you sell, not the way a template assumes you do.
Internal tools and small products
A simple dashboard, a configurator, a script that does in seconds what your team does in an hour — small internal tools can have an outsized impact when they're built around your real process. I scope these tightly so they're genuinely useful and don't turn into a runaway project.
Scoped properly, so budgets don't run away
The fastest way to waste money on software is to start without a clear scope. I'll push for well-defined requirements and fixed pricing wherever the work allows, and use hourly billing only for genuine discovery or evolving work. Greenfield "build me an app" ideas need a scoping conversation first — and I'll tell you honestly if it's worth doing.
