Hamish Burke / Wellington, New Zealand

I build things, and I want to understand what they’re capable of.

Software developer at Alphero. Exploring technology, AI, systems, business, and the problems worth solving.

What I’m interested in

I’m interested in what happens when technology stops being just a tool and starts changing what organisations and people are capable of doing. Particularly AI, software systems, business, decision-making, and the strange space where those things overlap.

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, shipped, maintained, and used by real organisations. That is the part you cannot get from side projects alone, and it is most of what I am doing right now.

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.

Client marketing website June to August 2026

Sprint Coach

Designed and built the first website for a Wellington sprint coaching business, from creative direction through to production launch.

Result The site is live at sprintcoach.co.nz with a working enquiry form, local SEO structured data, and a documented launch checklist handed to the client. Nothing reaches production until the client has approved the exact build that ships.
