Hamish Burke / Wellington, New Zealand

Software developer at Alphero, in Wellington.

Most of what I build outside of that is to solve something for myself, or to prove I can actually do it in that space.

What I’m interested in

I care about how things work, how those things interact once they’re part of something bigger, and what’s actually worth building in the first place.

  • Technology

    How things work.

  • Systems

    How complicated things interact.

  • Strategy

    What is actually worth doing.

Currently

Learning how software actually gets made.

I’m working as a junior software developer at Alphero, where I’m learning how software gets designed, built, and produced for real organisations. That is the part you cannot get from side projects alone, and it is most of what I am doing right now.

Things I built

All projects
Multi-tenant finance product 2026

You Inc

Built and deployed a multi-tenant personal-finance product with passkey authentication, Akahu bank sync, a double-entry ledger, and configurable dashboards.

Result A deployed, fully functional product: users can create and confirm accounts, sign in with passkeys, connect Akahu, sync transactions, and use an isolated financial dashboard. The public demo and screenshot use sample data.

Self-hosted GPU sharing platform March 2026

GPUShare

Built a self-hosted platform for trusted users to share local AI inference and Blender rendering, with optional cloud routing and estimated usage-cost allocation.

Result The application implements auth, local and optional cloud inference, MCP tool routing, queued rendering, and append-only usage accounting. Host availability and a stale installer migration command remain operational limits; no adoption claim is made.
