Software & cloud engineering for NZ businesses

Stop waiting on slow, manual work.

15+ years. Westpac, Health NZ, Atlassian, LINZ. Now building software that removes bottlenecks for NZ businesses, at small-team speed and cost.

What I do

Software that unlocks capacity, not just code

Outcome-led, not hours-led

I start from what the bottleneck costs you: hours lost, work turned away, bills that keep growing. Fixed fees, not timesheets.

One senior engineer, end to end

Architecture to production, no hand-offs. The person who builds it is the person you talk to.

AI-native, not AI for its own sake

AI speeds up my delivery, and goes into your product only where it earns its place. Experienced oversight, no shortcuts.

How I can help

Slow, manual, fragile or stuck: three ways in

Custom software, cloud and AI where it fits. The audit decides which is worth doing first.

Idea → working system

You know what needs to exist. I turn it into reliable production software.

Modernise what you have

Replace slow, unreliable or insecure tech with solutions that grow with the business.

How it works

Fixed price at every step

Every project follows the same four steps. You know the price and what you get before each one starts. No hourly billing, no surprises.

  1. 1

    Fit check

    30 min
    Free

    A straight answer on whether I can help, and whether the audit is worth your money.

  2. 2

    Process Audit

    3 days
    NZ$4,000 + GST, credited to your build

    I walk through your operations, tools and data, and map where software would save you time or money. You get a prioritised roadmap with estimated savings, plus a fixed quote for the first item. Yours to keep whether or not you build with me.

  3. 3

    Prototype

    ~1 week
    Fixed fee, from your quote

    A working version running on your real data, measured against success criteria we agree up front. You decide go or no-go before committing to production.

  4. 4

    Production MVP

    ~2 weeks
    Included in your quote

    The core job done properly: deployed, monitored, documented and handed over, on infrastructure you own. Further features come later as their own fixed-price steps.

Already know exactly what you need? Skip the audit. I'll scope your project directly and give you a fixed quote.

FAQ

Straight answers before you book

How much does it cost?+

Every step has a fixed fee, agreed before it starts. The Process Audit is NZ$4,000 + GST, and it comes off your build if you go ahead within 60 days. Builds are quoted after the audit, because they depend on scope. No hourly billing.

How long does it take?+

The audit takes 3 days. A working prototype usually takes about a week, and a production MVP about two more. Bigger systems are delivered in further fixed-price steps, so you see working software early and often.

I'm not sure what I need. Is that a problem?+

No. That's what the Process Audit is for: it finds where software would pay back and puts a number on it. If you already know what you need, skip the audit and I'll scope the project directly.

Does it have to involve AI?+

No. Often the right fix is plain software: automating a manual process, speeding up slow processing, or consolidating systems. I use AI where it genuinely helps, and to speed up my own delivery.

Who owns the code and the infrastructure?+

You do. It runs on infrastructure you own, and the source code and documentation are handed over. No lock-in.

What happens after handover?+

You get documentation and a walkthrough. New features come as their own fixed-price steps. I build and hand over; I don't run systems long-term.

Is this a fit for my business?+

Yes, if you're an NZ business with customers, revenue, and a process that's slow, manual, fragile or stuck, and the person who signs off is in the room. It's not a fit for pre-revenue or equity-funded development, brochure websites on their own, or open-ended hourly retainers.

Who will I be working with?+

Me, Igor. One senior engineer from the first call to production, with 15+ years of enterprise delivery behind it. No account managers, no junior hand-offs.

Tell me what's slowing you down. I'll tell you straight whether I can fix it.

A 30-minute call, no obligation. If I'm not the right fit, I'll say so.
