Custom software development, Brisbane

Full-stack web applications, internal tools, and integrations: engineered properly, delivered on a fixed date.

Custom software development for Brisbane businesses and founders: full-stack web applications, internal tools, dashboards, CRMs, API integrations and AI features, built by one senior developer and delivered on a date fixed before the work starts. Real engineering on Next.js, Hono, Postgres and Supabase, not no-code held together with tape.

WHO IT'S FOR

For businesses and founders who've outgrown a website: you need a tool, a dashboard, a CRM, an integration, or an AI feature that does real work.

THE APPROACH

I build full-stack: Next.js and React on the front, Hono, Postgres and Supabase behind it, deployed on Vercel. Real engineering, not no-code held together with tape. Everything scoped, priced and dated before I start.

WHAT'S INCLUDED
  • · Architecture and data modelling
  • · Full-stack build, front end to database
  • · Third-party API and service integrations
  • · AI features via the Anthropic SDK
  • · Deployed, monitored, and documented
  • · Your repo and your code, day one
HOW IT WORKS
  1. 01Discovery & scope. We map the problem, the data and the must-haves, then I write a fixed scope, price and delivery date. You approve the number before anything is built.
  2. 02Architecture. I model the data and choose the stack for what you actually need, not what's trendy. No no-code lock-in and no throwaway foundations.
  3. 03Build. Full-stack build in weekly increments, front end to database, with daily commits you can watch land.
  4. 04Ship & handover. Deployed, monitored and documented on your infrastructure. Repo, domain and code are yours from day one.
CASE STUDIES

Clad

2026 · LIVE

A managed SaaS that hands a business an AI-generated, hand-finished website. Self-service onboarding, an inline editor, and an AI revision agent let owners shape the site themselves; an operator admin keeps quality high behind the scenes. Built on Next.js, Hono, Supabase and Astro, with the Anthropic SDK driving generation and revisions, on Cloudflare Workers.

RESULT

Live in production, onboarding the first cohort of clients now. Built and run as founder: an equity stake, not a fee.

FAQ

What kind of software do you build?

Web apps, internal tools, dashboards, CRMs, API integrations, and AI-powered features. If it runs in a browser and needs real logic behind it, it's in scope.

What's your stack?

Next.js, TypeScript, React, Hono, Postgres, Supabase, and Vercel, with the Anthropic SDK for AI features.

How much does custom software cost?

Projects start from AUD 4,000, quoted as a fixed price up front against a fixed scope. You approve the number before I write any code, and that's the number you pay.

How long does it take?

Most builds run two to six weeks, on a delivery date fixed in the quote. You get weekly demos and daily commits throughout.

Are you based in Brisbane?

Yes. I'm a Brisbane-based full-stack developer and work with clients across Brisbane and Australia-wide, remotely and on a fixed date.

Do I own the software?

Yes. Your repository, your code and your infrastructure from day one. No lock-in and no licence you keep paying for.
