What we do

Custom software development

We design and build tailored solutions to fit your workflow — not the other way around.

AI integration

Add real AI capabilities to your products. Not buzzwords — practical tools that save time and unlock value.

MVPs & prototypes

Turn an idea into something usable, fast. Validate early, iterate often, ship with confidence.

Maintenance & improvements

Fix, extend, and clean up existing systems. Keep your software healthy and moving forward.

DevOps & infrastructure

Automate deployments, set up CI/CD, and build infrastructure that scales without the headaches.

Technical consulting

Get honest, senior-level advice on architecture, tooling, and strategy — without the agency price tag.

How we work

AI-Accelerated

We leverage AI throughout our development process. Not as a gimmick, but as a genuine multiplier that lets us deliver faster without cutting corners.

Direct Relationships

No account managers or layers of abstraction. You work directly with the people building your software. Real conversations, real accountability.

Outcomes Focused

We care about what your software achieves, not just that it ships. Success is measured by the results you get, not the hours we bill.

Senior-Only Delivery

We have 40+ years of hands-on experience. No juniors learning on your project, no layers of management. Decisions are made by people who have built and shipped real systems many times before.

Built Right

Fast doesn't mean fragile. We write clean, maintainable code that you can build on — no shortcuts that cost you later.

Full Transparency

No black boxes or mystery processes. You see how we work, what we're building, and why. Clear communication at every step.

Iterative Process

We build in short cycles with your feedback at every step. You're not waiting months to see results—you're shaping the product as it evolves.

You Own Everything

Your code, your IP, no lock-in. We build it, you own it completely. Walk away anytime with everything you need to keep going.

Invested in Your Success

We're not just vendors fulfilling a spec. We care about your business outcomes and think beyond the immediate project to what actually helps you win.

About us

We are a team of two with decades of experience in development, DevOps, and project delivery across some of Australia's largest organisations.

We started this journey because we kept seeing the same pattern: big agencies, big fees, and slow delivery. We knew there was a better way.

AI changed the equation. It let us do what used to require a large team — but faster, leaner, and without the overhead. So we built a company around that: a small team that moves quickly, works directly with clients, and focuses entirely on delivering real outcomes.

We're not salespeople — we're engineers. Every conversation you have with us is with someone who builds, ships, and owns the work. No pitches, no hand-offs, just product and delivery.

We're not trying to be the biggest. We're trying to be the team you actually want to work with.

Resources & Mining

Mobile Equipment Asset Management Platform

The Challenge

A major global resources company was tracking mobile equipment across its lifecycle using fragmented, manual processes — spreadsheets, emails, and disconnected systems that couldn't scale across sites.

What We Did

We built a web-based asset management platform that gave the organisation full visibility over its mobile equipment fleet, including:

Advanced search and filtering across all equipment records
Bulk record management for large-scale updates
Procurement and handover workflows
Full lifecycle tracking from acquisition to decommission
Excel export for reporting and compliance

The Outcome

The platform became a single source of truth for equipment tracking, replacing scattered spreadsheets and manual processes across multiple sites. As a result, the organisation could:

Track equipment status and location in real time
Standardise procurement and handover processes
Reduce manual data entry and duplication
Scale operations confidently across sites

Online Ticket Sales API & Management Platform

The Challenge

A state lottery organisation needed a robust backend to power online ticket sales — handling high-volume secure transactions, user management, and integrations with payment and lottery draw systems. They also lacked visibility into API performance and had no centralised way to monitor transactions, diagnose issues, or manage operations in real time.

What We Did

We designed and maintained a scalable REST API alongside a real-time management UI that together became the backbone of their online sales platform, including:

Secure, high-volume transaction processing handling millions of daily requests
A management dashboard with live metrics — transaction volumes, success/failure rates, and throughput
Real-time transaction monitoring with detailed logs and filtering
User account management and authentication
Integration with third-party payment providers and lottery draw infrastructure
Asynchronous task processing for background operations

The Outcome

A reliable, high-performance API paired with a management platform that gave the organisation full visibility over their online sales channel. As a result, they could:

Process millions of transactions daily with 99.9%+ uptime
Monitor API health and transaction flow in real time through a single dashboard
Quickly identify and resolve issues using live logs and analytics
Integrate seamlessly with payment and draw systems
Scale their online sales offering with confidence

Mock UI with mock data for client confidentiality

Consumer / Travel

Collaborative Trip Management App

The Challenge

Travellers were frustrated with fragmented planning tools — notes in one app, links in another, routes in screenshots, and coordination buried in group chats. They needed one shared space to plan trips together, covering itineraries, routes, activities, and costs without the usual chaos.

What We Did

We designed and built a collaborative trip management platform that brings every part of travel planning into a single experience, including:

Interactive maps to visualise routes and locations
Drag-and-drop itineraries for easy day-by-day planning
Real-time collaboration for groups travelling together
Group expense tracking with shared visibility
AI-assisted planning to suggest activities, fill gaps, and optimise plans

The platform was designed to be simple, fast, and shareable, making it easy for groups to stay aligned before and during their trip.

The Outcome

The app replaced spreadsheets, screenshots, and endless message threads with a single, always-up-to-date trip plan. As a result, travellers could:

Plan collaboratively without duplicated work or confusion
Keep routes, bookings, and activities in one place
Track shared expenses transparently
Spend less time organising and more time enjoying the trip

The result is a clean, modern travel planning experience that removes friction from group travel.

Healthcare / Education

Professional Training Platform for a Physiotherapy Educator

The Challenge

A well-established physiotherapy practice wanted to scale its education offering beyond in-clinic workshops. They needed a fully featured online platform to deliver evidence-based training to physiotherapists, midwives, and personal trainers across the Spanish-speaking world, supporting both self-paced learning and live mentorship.

What We Did

We designed and developed a multilingual professional training platform tailored specifically for healthcare professionals, including:

Course management for creating and organising modules and structured curricula
Online enrolment and payment processing
Support for in-person course bookings
Structured learning paths with progress tracking
Mentorship scheduling for individual and group sessions
Waitlists with automated notifications
A user experience optimised for Spanish-speaking audiences

The platform also includes admin tools that allow the client to manage content, users, and courses independently, without technical assistance.

The Outcome

The solution transformed the physiotherapy practice into a scalable education business with a strong professional online presence. The platform enabled the client to:

Reach healthcare professionals across multiple Spanish-speaking countries
Offer on-demand courses alongside personalised mentorship
Automate enrolments, bookings, and waitlists
Centralise all education services in a single, professional platform

As a result, the practice expanded its international reach, increased learner engagement, and created new, sustainable revenue streams beyond in-clinic training.

Project Management

Mettle — Project Management Platform

The Challenge

Organisations running complex projects were relying on a patchwork of spreadsheets, email threads, and disconnected tools to manage risks, issues, decisions, and progress. Critical information was siloed across teams, project managers lacked a single view of health, and there was no consistent way to track lessons learned or enforce governance across multiple projects.

What We Did

We built a web-based project management platform that gives organisations structured control over their entire project portfolio, including:

Risk management with likelihood/consequence scoring, response strategies, and lifecycle tracking from identification through to closure
Issue, decision, and lesson tracking so nothing falls through the cracks and institutional knowledge is captured
Work breakdown structures with work packages, products, stages, and plans — giving teams a clear picture of what needs to be delivered and when
Task management linked directly to risks, so control actions are visible alongside the threats they address
Earned value and financial tracking with roles, rates, timesheets, and billing — connecting delivery to cost in real time
Quality management with product-level review logs and audit trails
Multi-tenancy so multiple organisations can operate independently on a single platform, each with their own projects, users, and auto-generated project numbering
Requirements, assumptions, roadmaps, and releases to round out the full project lifecycle

The Outcome

Mettle replaced fragmented tooling with a single, structured platform for project governance. As a result, organisations can:

Track risks, issues, and decisions in one place with full audit history
See project health at a glance through RAG statuses and dashboards
Enforce consistent processes across teams and projects without relying on spreadsheets
Manage costs alongside delivery, connecting timesheets and billing to plans
Scale confidently — adding new projects, teams, and organisations without losing visibility or control
