Where Magic Happens
We are a small software development business based in Christchurch, New Zealand. Our software journey began over a decade ago when we started to create mobile apps for the first smartphones. At the time, software on mobile phones was still in its infancy and since then the quality of mobile apps has increased hugely. We’ve been taking our time building our experience, learning, building and testing to create mobile software that we can be proud of.
We’re proud to live in Canterbury
Stretching our capabilities into other areas, such as website development and backend services has allowed us to work on more projects independently and deliver greater results to our customers. It is a hugely rewarding occupation that enables us to bring joy to people all around the world.
Our People
A senior software engineer, with over a decade of experience, in both New Zealand and England, he has the capability to deliver high-quality software products on iOS, Android and Web platforms. Having worked with a wide range of businesses, including rapidly scaling startups and large enterprises, gives him the versatility to accomplish any software project.
“Making software that has a genuinely positive impact is so rewarding” – Ryan
Ryan started his software career building mobile apps for both iOS and Android platforms. Building great software is rewarding when the result of the product benefits end users. Sometimes that benefit would be in the form of entertainment, whilst other times benefit would be a tangible advantage for a business. Travelling abroad helped widen his horizon both professionally and personally, giving him a worldly perspective to view software problems and solutions. Having this experience enables Ryan to understand what considerations are most important to maximise the effectiveness of software for a business. As a full-stack software developer, with strong fundamental skills, Ryan enjoys being in positions where he is able to help other less experienced software engineers grow and develop.
