Software built around how your business actually works.
I build web applications, business systems and integrations for businesses anywhere in Australia, backed by years of running the servers, networks and security they depend on.
Free first chat. A written quote before any work starts.
In the Perth Hills, I do IT and networking on site too.
Software that keeps running
From a small tool that saves an afternoon a week to the system the business runs on. Each one is secure, tested and released properly, with notes you can follow, so it keeps working after the handover.
Web applications
For your staff or your customers, on a phone or at a desk, with proper sign-in and a record of who changed what.
Business systems
The stock, bookings or job system that replaces the spreadsheet, built around how you actually work.
Integrations and APIs
Code that gets the systems you already pay for sharing data, so nobody retypes it.
AI in your own systems
An assistant that works with your own data, inside limits you set, with a preview before anything changes.
Monitoring and alerts
Software that watches equipment, sites and systems, and tells you when something needs a person.
Rescuing old software
The system the last developer left behind, taken over, secured, documented and building again.
What I can help with
Most technology problems in a small business start as one of these. Plenty turn out to be two or three at once.
-
“Nothing off the shelf does what we need.”
Software development
Web applications, business systems, integrations, AI connected to your own data, and software that talks to equipment. Built to run securely, tested, and handed over properly.
-
“We type every order in twice.”
Business system integration
Getting Xero, MYOB, ServiceM8, Shopify and the rest to share data, so nobody retypes it.
-
“Everyone says AI. What would it actually do for us?”
Practical AI for business
Finding the few jobs where AI genuinely saves time, setting it up with sensible rules, and saying so where it won’t help.
-
“I need someone who understands all of it.”
IT consulting
Someone to ask and someone to sort it: Microsoft 365, email, backups, security basics and the old server in the cupboard.
-
“The Wi-Fi doesn’t reach the shed.”
Networking
Wi-Fi across the whole property, links between buildings, and a second connection that takes over when the NBN drops out.
After a website? That’s BuiltSite, also part of Leahy & Co.
One job, several problems
Here’s the kind of job I mean. A cellar door in the Hills with three complaints: the Wi-Fi didn’t reach the tasting room, the card machine went down whenever the NBN did, and every online booking was typed into the accounts by hand.
That’s networking, IT and integration in one job: a wireless link from the house to the cellar door, a backup connection the card machine switches to by itself, and the booking system connected to Xero so bookings arrive in the accounts on their own.
This one is an illustration. Real jobs are written up under Work.
Who you’re dealing with
I’m Dylan Leahy. Leahy & Co is me, so the person you talk to is the person who does the work, from the first chat to the handover.
I’ve been doing IT since I was a kid, including eight years at IT support companies, looking after businesses from small offices to companies with sites across the country, and five years as infrastructure manager for a global cyber security company. I write software on top of all that, including the hosting platform every BuiltSite website runs on.
Technology in the Hills is different
- Connections vary from one property to the next: NBN fixed wireless, satellite, Starlink, and mobile coverage that drops out in the valleys.
- A house, a shed, an office and a cellar door can be a long way apart.
- Storms and bushfire season bring outages, so a second connection and backup power matter more than they do in the suburbs.
- I’m based up here, so coming out to the property is part of the job.
I work across Kalamunda, Lesmurdie, Gooseberry Hill, Walliston, Bickley, Carmel and Pickering Brook; Mundaring, Darlington, Glen Forrest, Mahogany Creek, Sawyers Valley, Parkerville, Stoneville, Mount Helena and Chidlow; Roleystone, Karragullen and Bedfordale; and surrounds.
Tell me what’s going on
A free chat about the problem, then a written quote before any work starts. If the fix is one extra access point rather than a new system, that’s what I’ll tell you.
