About VibeZero

AI is the new part, the experience underneath it is not

VibeZero did not appear out of the AI boom. The people behind it spent years on work where you do not get to ship and hope, systems thousands rely on, data that has to stay exactly where it belongs, and auditors who eventually ask how you know any of it is safe.

Track record

Three worlds, one lesson, learned over and over

Each sector punishes shortcuts in its own way. This is where VibeZero came from, and what every part of it drilled into how we build today.
Government & not for profitLarge scale web apps & platforms

Software the public actually depends on

We build large scale applications and web platforms for state government and not for profits, the kind real people reach for on a bad day, where an outage makes the news and a privacy slip is a genuine harm, not a support ticket.

Drilled in. Build for the worst case, not the demo.

Government & enterpriseInfrastructure & platform operations

The infrastructure underneath it all

We design, build and run the plumbing behind government and enterprise systems, the unglamorous layer that simply has to work, hardened, monitored, recoverable, and documented well enough that the next person can keep it alive without a phone call.

Drilled in. Most of the real value is in the boring, done properly.

Security & GRCControls, policy & audit

Controls written down, and proven

We design the technical security controls, write the governance, risk and compliance policies behind them, then stand in the room when they get audited. Being secure is one thing, but being able to prove it, on paper, to someone whose whole job is to doubt you, is a different skill entirely.

Drilled in. Secure is one thing, but proving it is another.

Build

Build it properly

For the worst case, not the demo. The way it behaves at 2am matters more than how it looks in a pitch.
Prove

Prove it is safe

Don't just trust us. We write it down, with controls documented and defensible to someone paid to doubt you.
Hand over

Write it down

So it outlives whoever built it. The next person keeps it alive without a phone call.

The gap

The tools are incredible, the results? Not always

AI makes it effortless to ship something that looks finished and is quietly full of holes. The experience around the tool is what changes that.
What the tools can do

Architect apps, write production code, handle operations

  • Claude Code architects entire applications.
  • Cursor writes production code faster than most juniors.
  • ChatGPT drafts documents, analyses data and handles queries.
What businesses often get

Insecure apps, broken automations and shallow adoption

  • Vibe coded apps shipped without security review.
  • Automations that break silently when inputs shift.
  • AI used like search, rather than as a business tool.

What we do

What VibeZero actually does

Strategy, implementation, security and training come together around the operating problem, rather than the novelty of the tool.

Approach

Our approach to AI consulting

It's the same standard government and enterprise demand, minus the six figure theatre.
Speed

Speed over perfection theatre

Scope conservatively and deliver quickly. Most projects wrap in weeks, not quarters. If the work does not make sense, we tell you before you spend a cent.
Honesty

Honest advice, not hype

Some processes benefit from AI and some do not. We will tell you which is which, including when the answer is not yet or not worth it.
Fit

Built for SMBs, not enterprises

We work with businesses under 50 staff. The advice, build and handover are proportionate to the business rather than imported from a giant transformation program.
Location

Perth based, nationally available

It's on site across the Perth metro and remote delivery nationally, with a cost base that lets small business budgets reach further.

Founder

The founder behind VibeZero

Josh is a Perth based technologist with a government, enterprise and not for profit background.

Much of the track record above is Josh's, years across state government, enterprise and not for profit, on systems where shortcuts are not an option and someone always checks your work.

That also covers web development, Microsoft 365 and Power Platform consulting, cybersecurity, data analytics and managed IT, enough range to see how the pieces fit together, and enough scar tissue to know where they break.

VibeZero came out of watching businesses adopt new technology badly and then having to clean it up. The aim is deliberately narrow, helping Australian SMBs use AI properly, securely and without the consulting theatre.

Perth

Why Perth is the right base

It's close to industries that benefit from pragmatic AI work, with on site delivery in the metro and remote delivery nationally.

Perth's mining and resources ecosystem creates demand for practical AI solutions, and the cost base lets us price competitively without cutting corners.

Being in Perth is not a limitation, but an advantage. We are close to the operating environments that reward pragmatic work, and small business budgets reach much further.

Clients

What our clients say

This is general client feedback about the way we listen, build and hand work back.
VibeZero reviewed BuildScore end to end before our public launch. What impressed us most was the rigour: a clear scope of work up front, tightly controlled access that they wound back the moment the job was done, and a written report so precise that our own independent verification confirmed every finding, line for line. They didn't just point at problems. Every issue came with a practical fix, sequenced so we could ship safely, and they handed over their testing tools so the value outlasted the engagement. Professional, responsive and security-first at every step. We'd recommend Josh and the VibeZero team to any founder who wants confidence in what they're shipping.
Stacey BlackwellDirector, BuildScore
Josh and the VibeZero team turned a mess of ideas into a working product faster than I thought possible. They actually listened to what we needed, didn't overcomplicate things, and delivered something our team could use straight away. Genuinely one of the best tech experiences I've had as a business owner.

Process

How we work

  1. Free consultation

    A conversation about what you need, with no pitch deck and no commitment, and a straight answer on whether we can help.
  2. Scope and proposal

    You get a clear proposal with fixed pricing, deliverables and timing, and you know what you are getting before any work starts.
  3. Build and deliver

    You get regular check ins, no surprises and a finished system that works in production, with delivery timing agreed in the proposal.
  4. Support and iterate

    We do not disappear after launch, and ongoing support, managed services and the option to keep improving remain available.
