Hi, I’m Rolf
I’ve been writing code and fixing code for Australian businesses & government since 1995 — long before “web developer” was even a job title.
My Journey
I started programming because I had to — back in the 90s I was fixing broken systems for clients and realised the only way to truly solve problems was to understand (and often rewrite) the code myself.
Since 2005 I’ve almost exclusively built bespoke solutions rather than using off-the-shelf software. Why? Because custom code means:
- Lower long-term costs
- No licence fees or lock-in
- Exactly the features you need — nothing you don’t
- Lightning-fast performance and rock-solid security
Beyond the Keyboard
I’ve started, run, and sold multiple businesses — from MacTherapy (Apple IT support in Perth) to being a founder of Radiowan, Australia’s first ISM-band broadband ISP (later ASX-listed as Datafast).
I’ve also built embedded systems, flown charter planes out of Jandakot, and once had a mesh networking technology stolen by a venture capitalist (lesson learned!).
These days I spend my free time flying paragliders — there’s nothing quite like hiking up a mountain with your wing on your back and soaring home on thermals.
