Gold Coast
Most Gold Coast businesses brief their software work to a Sydney agency or an offshore team and hope for the best. I’m the alternative: a senior engineer based here, building web applications, CRMs, automation and native iOS apps for the businesses this city actually runs on.
Coffee in Southport beats a discovery call with a project manager two time zones away. Fixed written quotes, working software demoed every week, and you own every line of code from day one.
The Gold Coast has no shortage of freelancers building template sites. What’s rare is senior engineering — the kind that banks, logistics companies and platforms pay for — available locally, in person, for the price of a fixed quote instead of an agency retainer.
Construction is the Gold Coast’s biggest business category, real estate its loudest, tourism its oldest. These are relationship businesses that live and die on follow-up speed and admin overhead — exactly the problems custom software kills.
Discovery workshops at your office, demos over coffee, and a build cadence you can literally drive to. When something needs a whiteboard, we use one. The staging link and weekly demo rhythm still run like clockwork in between.
The Coast’s largest business sector — builders, subbies and developers from Yatala to Coolangatta. Job scheduling, quoting engines, progress claims and site photo capture that work on a phone, on site, with or without reception.
In the fastest-growing large city in Queensland, listings move in days. Lead-routing CRMs, portal integrations and automated follow-up that answer an enquiry in minutes — before the office up the highway does.
The Coomera marine precinct is one of the biggest boat-building hubs in the southern hemisphere. Refit schedulers, parts and inventory systems, and client portals for builds worth more than most houses.
From GCUH to private clinics and allied health: booking flows, referral tracking and compliance-aware integrations, with data handling designed per project — not defaulted into.
Yes — I’m based here. Kick-off workshops, milestone demos and “can we just look at this together” sessions happen face to face anywhere on the Coast. The week-to-week build still runs on a private staging link, so you see progress continuously either way.
A web designer builds pages; I build systems — the CRM behind the pages, the automation behind the CRM, the integrations behind everything. If all you need is a brochure site, I’ll tell you honestly and quote small or point you elsewhere.
No pitch, no jargon — an engineer’s honest read on your problem. If custom software isn’t the answer, you’ll hear that too. Call +61 448 274 028 or email hello@qld.engineering
