What I build
Software that's tailored for Australian business
Custom Application Development
Line-of-business systems, internal tools, third-party integrations, and workflow automation — built to your exact requirements, not adapted from a template.
Microsoft Azure Cloud Migration
Move legacy systems to Azure without disruption. Properly architected for security, performance, and cost — not just lifted and shifted and left to chance. Most existing .NET and SQL workloads can be migrated with zero data loss.
Web & Digital Platforms
Purpose-built websites, customer portals, and digital platforms with the features your business actually needs. Hosted, managed, and fully in your control — not locked into someone else’s platform.
Software that pays for itself
Small businesses are under real pressure right now. Reduce operational friction and improve your bottom line.
Margin Recovery
Manual processes, duplicate data entry, and disconnected systems quietly erode your margins every day. A well-built solution eliminates that friction — often recovering more in staff time and errors avoided than it costs to build.
Scoped to Your Operation
Generic software is built for everyone, which means it fits no one perfectly. You end up paying for features you don’t need and working around the ones you do. A properly scoped solution is built around how your business actually runs.
Returns You Can Measure
My first priority is making sure the investment makes sense before work begins. If I can’t see a clear return for your business, I’ll tell you. If it stacks up, I’ll scope it tightly so the outcome is predictable and the cost is justified.
Not sure if a software solution is worth it for your business? Call Ben or send an email — a 20-minute conversation is usually enough to find out.
Why hire a consultant?
Agencies bill you for project managers, account managers, and QA layers you never interact with. With Blip, your budget goes to engineering.
You work with me. Not a team you’ll never meet.
Every brief, every call, every deliverable — I handle it personally. You always know exactly who is responsible for your project and can reach me directly.
Senior expertise from day one.
Three decades across Microsoft platforms means I’ve already solved most of what your project will throw at us. You’re not paying for a graduate’s learning curve.
Honest scoping. No surprises.
Clear proposals before work begins. Fixed-scope or time-and-materials — whichever suits your project. No hidden costs, no scope creep by stealth, no invoice shock.

How it works
Brief
Tell me what you need to build or fix. A 30-minute call is usually enough to understand the scope.
Proposal
I’ll come back with a clear scope of work, timeline, and price. No vague day-rate quotes.
Delivery
Regular updates, working software at each milestone, and handover documentation your team can actually use.
