Why Wellington teams call us.
Wellington is the seat of government and a tech and film hub — public-sector procurement and data sovereignty drive the platform conversation.
Wellington platform work is shaped by the public sector: NZ data residency, the NZ Privacy Act and government procurement, alongside a tech and film scene with media data at scale.
We build sovereign, NZ-resident data platforms with the controls and documentation procurement expects, and replace per-seat BI with self-hosted Superset.
Wellington is the seat of government and a tech and film hub — public-sector procurement and data sovereignty drive the AI conversation.
"Our backend was built to reach launch. Now it slows every release down."
"We are moving to enterprise customers and our architecture was never designed for it."
"Our data sits in five systems and nobody trusts the numbers on the dashboard."
"We pay per seat for Tableau, Power BI or Looker and the bill grows faster than revenue."
"We have outages we cannot explain and no real observability to find out why."
What we do
What platform engineering actually covers.
Every engagement starts with a 30-minute call. If we cannot tell you something useful in that window, we do not take the work on.
Platform and backend architecture
APIs, services and data models designed for where you are going, so new features do not add fragility.
Data platform
Pipelines, warehouse and a semantic layer, so the dashboard, the product and finance agree on the numbers.
Embedded analytics
Apache Superset and ClickHouse inside your product in place of per-seat BI. A stack we run ourselves.
Cloud and DevOps
AWS, Google Cloud or Azure done properly: infrastructure as code, CI/CD, secrets and cost guardrails.
Multi-tenant SaaS
Tenant isolation, row-level security and per-tenant configuration, so you can sell to enterprise without a rebuild.
Reliability and observability
SLOs, tracing, logging and alerting that tell you what broke and why, before the customer does.
How we engage
Three ways to start. All begin with a call.
Platform Assessment
A two-week diagnostic of architecture, data and reliability: what to fix first, what to retire, what breaks at the next scale step.

We design for the NZ Privacy Act 2020, and for the Algorithm Charter and NZISM in public sector work.
We are headquartered in Sydney and work trans-Tasman with Wellington teams, remote-first in NZ time, with on-site visits for kickoff and key milestones when needed.

Questions
What Wellington teams ask.
Straight answers to what Wellington teams ask before they book.
Are you based in Wellington?
We are headquartered in Sydney and work trans-Tasman with Wellington teams, remote-first in NZ time, with on-site visits for kickoff and key milestones when needed. We work with teams across the CBD and Te Aro.
How fast can you start?
A two-week Platform Assessment can start the Monday after the scoping call. Larger engagements usually begin one to two weeks out.
Do you work in NZD and to New Zealand rules?
Yes. We contract and price in NZD. We design for the NZ Privacy Act 2020, and for the Algorithm Charter and NZISM in public sector work.
Do you work in our existing stack?
Yes. We meet the codebase, cloud and tools you already run, and only recommend a change when staying clearly costs more than moving.
Can you help with embedded analytics specifically?
Yes. We run Apache Superset and ClickHouse embedded inside our own products, so it is an architecture we operate, not just recommend.
Can you build NZ-resident, government-grade architecture?
Yes — NZ cloud regions, Privacy Act-aligned controls, and the architecture documentation and evidence procurement looks for.
Can Superset cut agency BI cost?
Yes — self-hosted Superset scales with infrastructure rather than per user, a real saving across an agency.
Do you actually build, or just advise?
Both, and we never advise without being willing to build. If the answer is Apache Superset, we stand it up. If it is a senior hire, we write the spec and sit on the panel.
