We build custom software and AI automations.
Internal tools, dashboards, device software, and product builds. Most projects start with something a business is already doing by hand.
Services
What we build.
This is where most of our work lands. If you have something else in mind, send it through and we'll tell you whether we can help.
- 01
Internal tools
Software to replace the spreadsheet, shared inbox, or copy-paste routine that has become part of the job.
- 02
Dashboards and device screens
Controller logic, live status, remote controls, alerts, and the screens an operator stands in front of.
- 03
AI-assisted workflows
Drafting, sorting, matching, summarising, reviewing, and moving work between the tools a team already uses.
- 04
Product and MVP builds
Scoped tightly enough to get in front of users, then improved once you can see what they do with it.
- 05
Business platforms
Systems that take inputs, run a workflow, record what happened, and give you something to make decisions with.

Founder
About Steve.
Steve started as a carpenter and began writing code after work because he enjoyed it. He kept at it, got good at it, and eventually moved into software full time after a stint as a structural engineer.
Steve has worked under contract with Samsung and People Centric, and with teams from Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank. He now runs Wahlu Labs.
The part he enjoys most is the unglamorous one: sitting with a business, working out where the hours actually go, and building the thing that gives them back. Trades and engineering taught him to understand how something gets used before building it, and that is still how every project here starts.
If your team is doing something by hand every week, that is the conversation he wants to have.
