White-label development for Agencies & Custom software for SMEs
Talk to the person building it —
no account managers, no developer handoffs.
Run an agency or studio? I do white-label dev under your banner →
Hi, I'm Tristan.
I'm a Melbourne-based full-stack developer. My work sits across two worlds: direct client work for SMEs, and contract development for agencies - creating, supporting, and maintaining websites and tools on their behalf.
Outside of client work I build useful tools - Togetherish and Colourfully are two I've shipped publicly.
When you work with me, you talk directly to the person writing the code - no account managers, no handoffs. I keep my client list small so every project gets my full attention.

A selection of work I'm proud to have shipped.
The Arrow Agency
Maintenance, security patching, performance optimisation for The Arrow Agency. White-label development — I handle the dev layer so they focus on client delivery.
Q Nails
A local service business that needed to appear polished and trustworthy without adding operational complexity. Designed a clean, well-structured site prioritising clarity, responsiveness, and frictionless conversion — creating a calm and professional experience appropriate for the category.
Master Cobblers
A heritage, craft-driven business where trust and quality directly impact conversion. Designed to feel established and dependable, using conservative layout choices, clear hierarchy, and performance-first execution to position the brand as skilled craftsmanship rather than a commodity service.
Horticulture Database
A horticulture professional needed a searchable, editable database for over one million plant species - something no off-the-shelf tool could handle. I built a custom web app with full-text search, private user accounts, and the ability to add, edit, and annotate records.

Real clients. Real results. In their own words.
“I honestly didn't expect this level of quality so quickly. Tristan delivered a polished, fully functional tool. Set the bar high and then cleared it.”
Result — Instant on-site access to a personal plant database — pest info, growing data, images — that elevates his credibility with clients.
