Software development, data architecture & AI consulting.
Design and build the software, data models, integrations and analytical services your business needs. Work directly with SHANG IT on a defined problem, with practical architecture, tested delivery and a clear handover.
Based in Arundel on the Gold Coast, with remote consulting and project delivery across Australia where suitable.
Discuss a Software, Data or AI Project ↗Architecture and implementation, with business measures agreed up front.
Start with the decision, workflow or system that needs improving. We review the current environment and data, agree the scope and acceptance criteria, then design a maintainable solution.
Business Automation & Systems Integration
Connect your existing software and reduce repetitive administration.
We connect applications, spreadsheets, databases and cloud systems so information moves reliably through your business. Keep the software that already works, improve the process around it and add new tools only where they deliver value.
Systems integration can include API connections, scheduled data transfers, authentication, validation, reconciliation, error handling and monitoring. We agree the source and destination systems, access permissions and third-party API costs before development.
dbt and Airflow
Project scope can include dbt model testing, lineage and deployment, and Airflow orchestration, monitoring and failure recovery. We agree dependencies, operational ownership and recovery behaviour before implementation.
Talk about this service →AI Consulting & Solution Design
Move beyond AI hype to practical, well-governed solutions.
We help you identify suitable AI use cases, evaluate commercial value, assess privacy and security implications, test quality and implement solutions with appropriate human oversight.
AI consulting
Advice, feasibility assessment and hands-on implementation for practical business AI. This can include knowledge assistants, document processing and workflow support, with attention to data access, provider costs, evaluation and human review.
Solution design covers the business workflow, information sources, integration points, access boundaries, evaluation criteria, human review and an operating model. We agree how the design will be tested and maintained before deployment.
Talk about this service →Advanced SQL, Data Modelling & Data Science
Turn disconnected information into decisions.
We combine operational and commercial data into useful metrics, reports and decision tools. The goal is to identify costs, delays, opportunities and practical actions, not produce dashboards for their own sake.
Data engineering and data science consulting
Design and build data pipelines, SQL and Python transformations, data integration, validation and quality checks. Develop maintainable data models and analytical datasets that support reliable reporting and downstream applications.
Data science consulting can include exploratory analysis, statistical analysis, forecasting, classification and model evaluation where the available data supports the task. We assess data quality, assumptions and usefulness before recommending a model, and agree how results will be reviewed.
Advanced SQL and data modelling
Query optimisation, dimensional modelling, semantic models and value-driver models. We define the business measures, model grain, relationships and calculation logic, then test results and query performance against an agreed baseline.
Talk about this service →AWS & Snowflake Architecture
Use modern computing without unnecessary complexity.
We design and improve cloud-based applications, data flows and infrastructure with attention to reliability, cost, scalability and security. The right answer may be your existing SaaS platform rather than new custom infrastructure.
AWS cloud architecture services include solution design, architecture reviews, migration planning and implementation support. Scope can cover application and data workloads, identity and access, networking, resilience, monitoring and cost optimisation, with operational ownership and ongoing costs agreed before delivery.
AWS and Snowflake architecture can cover performance, security, cost optimisation, integration and scalable patterns. Designs consider workload behaviour, data movement, access controls, operating costs and recovery requirements. The platform and implementation scope are agreed after reviewing the existing environment.
Talk about this service →Governance, Lineage & Data Quality
Protect business information as you innovate.
Privacy-aware solution architecture, appropriate access controls, secure data movement, retention considerations and trustworthy AI evaluation are built into our delivery approach. Specialist security assessments can be scoped with qualified partners when required.
Build governance requirements into the design: agreed data owners, business definitions, lineage, access responsibilities, quality rules and issue handling. Tests, monitoring and traceability should make failures visible and support investigation. Governance responsibilities and acceptance criteria are agreed as part of the project.
Talk about this service →Production Python, APIs & Software Development
Build what is missing, not what already exists.
When packaged software cannot solve a genuine business problem, we build targeted applications, APIs, integrations and data services designed to be maintainable and fit for purpose.
API development
Design, build, document and troubleshoot APIs and integrations for suitable applications. Define authentication, input validation, data contracts, error responses and versioning, with appropriate tests and a practical handover. Existing API investigations can address failed requests, changing formats and performance problems.
Production Python work can include tested packages, APIs, diagnostics, automation and analytical services. Scope includes appropriate automated tests, configuration, logging, dependency management and handover, with support and maintenance responsibilities agreed before handover.
CI/CD and Infrastructure as Code
Delivery can use GitHub Actions, Terraform or AWS CDK where appropriate to the agreed environment. Define automated testing, deployment checks, environment promotion, secrets handling and rollback or recovery steps as part of the delivery process.
Talk about this service →Power BI Development & Performance Engineering
Reports that are useful, maintainable and responsive.
Develop Power BI reports, dashboards, semantic models, DAX measures and Power Query transformations. Connect appropriate data sources, agree business definitions and organise reports around the decisions your team needs to make.
Assess slow reports and refreshes, review data models and relationships, investigate DAX and Power Query performance, and identify improvements to source queries and refresh design. Validate changes against an agreed baseline. Results depend on the data, source systems, licensing and available capacity; no fixed performance improvement is promised.
Performance engineering can examine DAX, VertiPaq, column cardinality, model design and incremental refresh. Delivery scope can also include deployment pipelines and governance. We measure the existing behaviour, isolate constraints and validate changes against both performance and business results.
Discuss Power BI development or tuning →Choose the architecture around the workload.
AWS and Snowflake remain the focus of this service. Microsoft Fabric and Databricks requirements can be discussed as part of platform selection and integration scoping; specialist implementation is assessed separately.
Platform choices need to fit the data, operating model, existing investment and cost constraints. Tool selection and implementation scope are agreed as part of the project.
Clear delivery scope
Architecture, implementation, performance tuning and ongoing support are scoped separately where needed. Third-party licences, cloud usage, access requirements and maintenance responsibilities are discussed before work starts.
Read our approach →Bring the problem, the current stack and the result you need.
Tell us what is slow, unreliable, manual or difficult to maintain. We will assess the fit and agree a practical next step.
