Ed Broadbent · Solution Architecture & Builds · Sydney

I architect systems.
Then I build them.
End to end.

Selective architecture and build engagements — multi-tenant platforms, Microsoft 365 / Power Platform, data governance, and in-house delivery that retires recurring vendor licences. You own everything.

Design first. Build lean. Hand it over.

One person who does the architecture and the build — so the design survives contact with delivery, and you end up owning something your team can actually run.

01
Scope
A short conversation about the problem

What you're trying to fix, the constraints, and what "done" looks like. Honest about what's worth building and what isn't.

02
Design
Architecture · options · in-house vs vendor

The data model, access and governance, and the build-vs-buy call. Where it makes sense, in-house delivery that retires a recurring licence.

03
Build
Lean delivery in focused sprints

The working system, built and shipped. Scoped and quoted up front; every change agreed in writing first.

04
Own
Code · domain · data · runbooks

Documentation and handover so your team can operate and extend it. You own everything. No vendor lock-in, ever.

Architecture reviews and design engagements stand alone — you don't have to commit to a build.
Talk about an engagement

What I take on.

From multi-tenant platform architecture down to a small-business website — one person who designs the system and builds it, top to bottom.

Smaller builds, same standard.

Websites, admin systems, and operating tools for small businesses and community organisations — built lean and documented so you can run them yourself.

Builds · scoped per project

From a clean website to a full operating system

Quoted per project after a short scoping conversation — no published packages, no subscription tiers. You own the code, the domain, and the data.

  • Custom website: mobile-responsive, HTTPS, fast, SEO basics
  • Admin panel so your team can update content and records without code
  • Database, integrations, and scheduled automation scoped to need
  • Multi-user access, LMS, dashboards and governance for organisations
  • Documentation and handover; ongoing support by arrangement

See it in the work above — Emoji Cafe, Samara, and Primed are all real, live builds.

I don't just hand over tools. I document everything and make sure your team can run and extend it.

Ed Broadbent

In 2012 I hit a truck on a motorbike in India. Fractured pelvis, internal bleeding, surgery in a rural hospital. Staring at rusty ceiling pipes, one thought was clear: I hadn't done enough with what I'd been given.

I finished a Masters in Public Health, moved to Medellín, Colombia, and spent years building education and health infrastructure in communities that had the talent but not the tools. That belief stuck: people don't lack ability, they lack the right systems at the right time.

Now I work as a solution architect and builder: I design systems and build them — multi-tenant platforms, data governance, and in-house delivery — across health, community, and small business. I take on a small number of selective engagements where the architecture and the build both matter.

13+ years · National health sector

NCCRED/UNSW, Everymind, theknow.org.au: data governance, evaluation, national communication systems.

Edge-native stack

Edge-first infrastructure. Low-cost, fast to ship, minimal ongoing dependencies.

ABN registered · GST active

Selective engagements, scoped and quoted per project. Remote-first, Sydney-based.

Early adopter of AI tooling

AI engaged ethically and structurally as a development partner. Architecture, decisions, accountability are mine.

Tell me about the problem.

Best for architecture reviews, platform builds, Microsoft 365 / Power Platform migrations, and data-governance work. A short conversation first — no obligation.

Selective engagements, scoped and quoted per project. You own everything.
