Technology should get simpler, not more complicated.
Professional cloud, AI and infrastructure work, cut down to what actually ships. We take on only what can be done well in a few days, deliver it, and hand it over — so you get what you asked for, on time and on budget.
Small, fixed-scope solutions that actually get finished.
No enterprise overhead. No vendor lock-in. No surprises — just focused engineering that solves the problem in front of you.
AWS Cost Optimisation
Most companies on AWS overspend by 20–40% without realising it. A former AWS Solutions Architect runs a free audit showing exactly where the money goes — priced on a share of what you save.
Backup & Data Safety
Data that needs to be securely backed up and easily recoverable? We design and implement a reliable backup solution that fits your needs and your budget.
Local AI Models
Run your own AI models without leaning on expensive cloud APIs. We set up open-source models that run on your own hardware, keeping data in your hands.
Business Foundations
Solid technical groundwork to scale on — websites, databases, and cloud services set up properly the first time, so they don't need babysitting.
Workflow Automation
Seen a repetitive task and thought "there must be a better way"? We automate the mundane with scripts and tooling that give you your time back.
Penetration Testing
We simulate real attacks to find the vulnerabilities in your infrastructure before someone else does — then help you close them.
We never bite off more than we can handle.
Every engagement is scoped to around three days of focused work — small enough to finish, big enough to matter. Larger goals get broken into pieces that each stand on their own.
Understand
We start with the actual problem — not a discovery phase, a conversation. What needs to be true when we're done.
Design
The simplest solution that holds up. Fewer moving parts, nothing you'll maintain that you didn't ask for.
Build
Built and documented as we go, so the finished thing is clear enough for you to own without us.
Hand over
You get a working solution and the understanding to run it. No lock-in, no dependency on a retainer.
A few of the things we've built.
FinOps Dashboard
Brings cloud and AI/GPU spend into one clear view — tracking costs, forecasting against an AI baseline, and surfacing savings. Currently in development.
TipTap
A mobile-first web app that lets customers tip bartenders instantly — branding, design and build by Aquainnis. Live at tiptap.mobi.
Musculoskeletal Genomics
A fast, secure static site on AWS for the Musculoskeletal Genomics Research Group (Mater Research / University of Queensland), home to their interactive tools.
Junk Net
Gives old laptops a second life — one OS image turns them into mesh-connected nodes that pool their storage into a free, community-run S3-compatible object store.
Aquainnis audited our AWS environment and found savings we'd completely missed — our monthly bill dropped significantly with zero disruption.
