guv.nz is an independent New Zealand software developer building custom web applications, websites, software integrations, and cloud infrastructure. Work covers the full lifecycle from scoping through deployment and handover.

How do I hire guv.nz for a project?

Email hello@guv.nz with a short description of what you need. The process starts with scoping the problem, then building in iterative slices with working software early, followed by deployment, documentation, and handover.

Software & integrations NZ

I build the software
between your tools.

Q: What types of projects do you take on?

Web applications (dashboards, portals, internal tools), marketing websites, API and webhook integrations, middleware between business systems, and cloud/ops tooling including Docker deployments, CI/CD pipelines, and monitoring automation.

Q: Do you work with clients outside New Zealand?

Yes. guv.nz is based in New Zealand but works with remote clients. Communication is via email and video call.

Web applications, custom sites, API glue, cloud plumbing. The unglamorous work that makes everything else actually talk to each other.

Work

A

Web applications

Dashboards, admin panels, customer portals, internal tools. React, Vue, plain HTML. Whatever fits the job, not the trend.
B

Websites

Marketing sites and landing pages that load fast, read well on a phone, and don’t need a CMS the size of a small country.
C

Integrations

Connecting systems that were never meant to meet. Webhooks, REST, queues, sync jobs. The boring backbone stuff done properly.
D

Cloud & ops

Containers, deploy pipelines, update orchestration, monitoring hooks. Infrastructure that stays up when you’re not looking at it.

Stack

Every project is different. These are the kinds of things that show up regularly. Not a logo wall, just the territory.

Front end: TypeScript, React, static sites, progressive enhancement

Back end: Node, Python, REST & GraphQL APIs, background workers

Data: Postgres, MySQL, SQLite, Redis, object storage

Infra: Docker, Linux, CI/CD, reverse proxies, TLS, DNS

Integrations: OAuth, webhooks, third-party APIs, custom middleware

Ops tooling: Health checks, alerting bridges, registry watchers, automation

Process

Figure out what you actually need

Short call or email. Scope the problem before anyone writes code.

Build in slices

Working software early. You see it, break it, steer it.

Ship and hand over

Deployed, documented, yours. Stick around if you want ongoing help.
