Business-critical integrations
Design and delivery across ERP, retail, finance, messaging, marketing, warehouse and customer systems — where data shape, sequencing and resilience actually matter.
Software delivery for systems that need to work in the real world
Practical engineering for platforms, AI workflows and operationally awkward software.
TR Solutions delivers considered software work across application development, API integration, data flows, business automation, AI-assisted workflows and platform delivery — with a strong bias toward clarity, resilience and getting the important bits right.
The work sits comfortably between product engineering, business systems, integration design, technical delivery and applied AI: from customer-facing platforms to batch workloads, ERP-adjacent systems and the strange edges where legacy realities meet new requirements.
Applied AI and automation
AI used as a working tool rather than a sales garnish: AI automation, business agents and agentic workflows, document generation, data analysis, debugging support and practical human-in-the-loop systems.
Software that survives operations
A bias toward dependable systems, calmer deployments, and practical architecture rather than unnecessary platform theatre.
What TR Solutions does
Senior technical delivery without the consultancy theatre.
The positioning is intentionally straight forward: strong engineering judgement, broad integration experience, practical AI capability, and a delivery style shaped by production systems rather than sandbox demos.
That includes new builds, enhancements, modernisation work, debugging, system integration, operational stabilisation, AI workflow design and the glue work that often decides whether a platform feels calm or constantly brittle.
Common focus areas
- Platform and application development
- API and ERP integration delivery

- Business agents, AI-assisted workflows and pragmatic agentic tooling
- Technical leadership across messy real-world systems
How I work
Plain standards for when it matters.
You are using AI tools, but the way the business actually runs has not changed because of them. The job is to make the way it runs change — and that starts with how the work is done.
You talk to the builder
No account managers, no relay. The person answering is the person building.
Fixed scope, clear picture first
We write down how it actually works today, start to finish, before changing anything. You cannot hand a process to a tool until the steps exist outside your head.
Smallest useful thing first
Not the most impressive demo — the piece that lifts the most weight safely.
You own everything
Domain, hosting, code and data in your accounts. No lock-in. If we stop, what was built keeps running.

Direct work, Australian-based. You hear back fast, with a straight answer.
Honest advice
If the cheaper option is right, I say so. If you don't need me, I say that too.
Engagements
Three ways to start. Pick the size that matches where you actually are.
From $10K one-off
Fix
Diagnose and fix. A scoped audit with a roadmap — credited if we go on to build.
$2K/mo retainer
Build
New integrations, systems and platforms — scoped properly first, shipped in small batches.
$20K/mo capacity
Partner
Monthly technical lead and dedicated build capacity. Same model as leading a team twice-weekly.
Integration projects
Systems, patterns, purpose. Accomplishment-led.
Thirty years in IT and enterprises. Projects across Australia, the UK and the US — working with founders, CEOs, CFOs, COOs, GMs, project and product managers, architects, developers, testers and actual users. Past builds marked as past; current focus is TR Solutions and customer projects.
