An Australian company building product-grade software for Hobart teams across Antarctic and Southern Ocean research, tourism and hospitality, agribusiness, renewable energy, and the Tasmanian public sector. Melbourne-based, AEDT/AEST-aligned, on the ground when it matters.
The honest version. We are not pretending to have a Salamanca office. We are an Australian engineering and product consultancy with senior staff who travel for the days that matter and ship the rest from a shared timezone.
Hobart runs on AEDT/AEST — the same clock as Melbourne and Sydney. Standups, design reviews, and incident calls happen when you expect them. No edge-of-day handoffs.
We are based in Melbourne and travel to Hobart for the days that benefit from being in the room — kickoffs, workshops, Antarctic Division stakeholder days, and milestone showcases. Two-day blocks, not single-coffee fly-ins.
Every engagement is staffed by senior engineers and designers who have shipped product before. We do not subcontract, offshore, or rotate junior staff in once the statement of work is signed.
We work in your Slack, your Linear, your repos, and your sprint cadence. Our engineers show up to your standups under their own names — not as a vendor pool you have to coordinate around.
Code, infrastructure, designs, and documentation are yours from day one. No vendor lock-in, no licensing tail, and no surprise retainers if you choose to bring the work in-house later.
Eaglum is an Australian company with Australian engineers and Australian invoices. Your work, data, and people stay on-shore — important for Tasmanian Government, federal-agency Hobart programs, and regulated salmon and energy operators.
Six services covering the surface area Hobart buyers actually ask us about. The per-stack engineering pages (Laravel, React, Node) live separately for the buyers who think about the build at that level.
Designers and engineers working as one team to take a Hobart product from validated idea to launched build — across research, agribusiness, energy, and the Tasmanian public sector.
Learn more
Versioned, documented APIs that integrate with the systems Tasmanian businesses run — Hydro Tasmania operator stacks, salmon supply chains, and Antarctic-research data platforms.
Learn more
Tokens, components, and governance so your visual language stays consistent across Tasmanian Government portals, tourism booking platforms, and consumer-facing food and beverage products.
Learn more
Fast, testable prototypes that let you validate a feature with Hobart users — researchers at IMAS, tour operators on the Salamanca foreshore, or growers in the Tamar — before engineering spend compounds.
Learn more
Research, journey mapping, and usability testing with real Hobart users. We produce engineering-ready findings — not 60-page decks that nobody reads.

Senior engineers embedded into your Hobart team, accountable to your tech lead. Same standup, same repo, same sprint — no body-shop framing.

Tasmania concentrates a few sectors in a way nowhere else does. Antarctic research, premium food, renewables, and a tourism economy mostly run by owner-operators.
The Australian Antarctic Division, IMAS, and CSIRO Hobart make Hobart a globally significant Antarctic-research hub. We build research-data platforms, expedition-planning tools, and the operational systems that follow ships and stations south.
MONA, Cradle Mountain operators, Salamanca markets, cruise terminals. Tasmania's tourism economy is real and largely owner-operator. We build booking platforms, ticketing systems, and the customer-experience product behind the destinations.
Cool-climate wine, Atlantic salmon, dairy, hops, and cherries. Tasmania's premium-food economy needs traceability, regulated reporting, and supply-chain platforms that respect the brand.
Battery of the Nation, the Marinus Link interconnector, and Hydro Tasmania's long history. We build operator platforms, regulated reporting tools, and consumer-facing products around the energy transition.
Tasmanian state government and the federal agencies with a Hobart presence — including AAD, BoM, and CSIRO. We deliver work shaped to the Tasmanian Information Security Policy and federal expectations.
UTAS — Tasmania's single university — runs research and student-facing platforms across Hobart, Launceston, and Burnie. We build admin systems, research-data portals, and student-experience products that last beyond a single grant cycle.
Four steps from first call to running software. The same method we use everywhere — the Hobart variant just adds a Bass Strait flight.
Read the system, the dashboards and the on-call history. Talk to your engineers and the people closest to your users.
Agree the first slice on a single page — scope, success metric, Definition of Done, risks. Reviewed with your team, not handed to them.
Pair, review, test, deploy. The slice goes to production behind a feature flag with the observability and runbook your team will need.
Walk your team through the code, infrastructure and runbook. Decide together whether to scope the next slice — no contract pressure either way.
Hobart concentrates work along the waterfront and out toward Sandy Bay and Glenorchy. These are the rooms we plan our visits around.
Macquarie and Davey Streets, the head-office cluster for Tasmanian Government, professional services, and the financial-services tail. Where stakeholder workshops and exec presentations land.
The waterfront — markets, hospitality, tourism operators, and a small but committed creative-tech scene. Where tourism and hospitality product gets validated by the people running it.
UTAS's main campus and the academic-research density around it. IMAS sits adjacent on Castray Esplanade. Where research-platform work gets validated by researchers.
Heritage residential overlapping the Salamanca creative scene. Owner-operator businesses and small studios that punch above their weight.
Industrial north-of-the-river belt. Manufacturing, food production, and a long tail of operations density that supports the Hobart economy.
MONA, Moorilla, and the cluster of cultural-and-tourism operators around them. Where consumer-facing tourism and event product gets validated.
No — we are based in Melbourne and we are honest about that. We travel to Hobart for the days that matter (kickoffs, workshops, Antarctic Division and IMAS stakeholder days, milestone showcases) and run the rest async on a shared AEDT/AEST clock. The Bass Strait is a flight, not a timezone problem.
Two-to-three day blocks at the start of an engagement and at major milestones. We come to your office, your end-users, or the precinct that matters — Hobart CBD, Salamanca, Sandy Bay, or a Tamar-Valley grower. Single-day visits do not earn the flight; we plan blocks that do.
Antarctic and Southern Ocean research, tourism and hospitality, agribusiness and food production (wine, salmon, dairy, hops, cherries), renewable energy, Tasmanian and federal public sector, and UTAS. We avoid sectors where we cannot bring real depth.
Yes. Our engineers join your standup, your repo, and your sprint cadence under their own names. They report to your tech lead, not a vendor account manager. The embed model works the same in Hobart as it does anywhere — same clock, same working day.
Laravel, Node.js, and Python on the server. React, TypeScript, and Inertia on the client. Postgres and SQLite where it fits. We meet your stack rather than imposing one — if the platform you have is the right answer, we ship in it.
Discovery typically starts within two to three weeks of signing. The Slice — your first piece of shipped product — usually lands four to six weeks after that. We are deliberate about not over-committing; we would rather move the start date than ship a slice with the wrong people on it.
Yes. The two-week Slice Discovery scales down for smaller scope — we have run productive engagements with single-product owner-operator businesses on the same model we use for federal agencies. We size the slice to the question on your desk, not to a minimum-margin floor.
Yes. We are familiar with the Tasmanian Information Security Policy, federal-agency Hobart-based work (AAD, BoM, CSIRO), WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility, ISM-aligned controls, and the documentation public-sector buyers expect at handover.
You do — code, designs, infrastructure, and documentation, from day one. Repositories live in your GitHub org. Cloud infrastructure runs in your AWS, GCP, or Azure account. There is no vendor lock-in tail, no licensing surprise, and no retainer required to keep using what we built.
Tell us where the work is and we'll figure out the right shape. Smaller scope is fine — the Slice scales down.
