How we'll work
A clear plan.
Then the right changes.
We'll start with what's happening and what you've already tried. Then we'll work out what needs to change and whether it's worth the time and cost.
Start with a conversationTell me what you need
Walk me through your software, what's getting in the way and what you'd like to achieve.
Agree on the first step
We'll decide what to investigate before you share access or I start work. I'll explain what I find and what I recommend.
Build, test and hand over
Once you approve the work, I'll make the changes, test them and walk your team through how they work.

Senior software engineer, Melbourne
I've spent more than a decade building and improving applications that people use every day.
My work covers frontend and full stack engineering, from analytics dashboards and API integrations to the architecture behind live applications.
At Aldevra Engineering, I bring that experience directly to your team, whether you're starting something new or working through a difficult problem.

The person behind Aldevra
You'll know who's
doing the work.
You'll work with me from the first conversation through to handover. We'll talk about what you need, what your team can support and what fits your budget and timeline.
Agree on the work first
We talk through the options, costs and compromises before deciding what to build or change.
Work directly with me
I write and test the code, keep you updated and answer your questions as we go.
Leave your team ready
I review the changes with your team and document what they need to maintain the software.
A sensible starting point
Start with a technical assessment.
Know what needs attention before committing to a bigger project. We'll agree on what to investigate and give you enough detail to decide what comes next.
- An agreed scope
- A summary of findings
- Recommended next steps
- An implementation estimate
Technical assessments from
$1,500 AUD
Excludes GST if applicable.
We'll confirm the scope before work begins.
Do you take on whole software projects?
Yes, depending on the project. I usually start by understanding what you need and reviewing any existing software. From there, we can agree on the scope of a larger build.
Can you work with our existing engineering team?
Yes. I can work alongside your developers, product lead or agency team. I can also subcontract for agencies under a confidentiality agreement.
Do you work with teams outside Melbourne?
Yes. I'm based in Melbourne and work with SaaS teams and digital agencies across Australia. We can collaborate remotely and agree on how to stay in touch.
Do you provide support around the clock?
Not at the moment. We'll agree on support hours, response times during business hours and delivery dates before work starts.
How are projects priced?
A technical assessment typically starts at AUD $1,500. I'll quote for fixes or development once I understand the work and any risks involved. Prices exclude GST if applicable.
Let's talk
What are you working on?
Send me a few details about what you're building or trying to fix. We can talk through where I might be able to help.
A conversation is a good place to start.
