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 an auditor who eventually comes asking how you know any of it is safe.

Track record

Three worlds, one lesson, learned over and over

That work ran across three sectors, and each one punishes shortcuts in its own way. Here is where VibeZero came from, and what every part of it drilled into how we build today.

01CHAPTER 01
Government & not-for-profit
Large-scale web apps & platforms

Software the public actually depends on

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 inBuild for the worst case, not the demo.

02CHAPTER 02
Government & enterprise
Infrastructure & platform ops

The infrastructure underneath it all

Designing, building and running 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 inMost of the real value is in the boring, done properly.

03CHAPTER 03
Security & GRC
Controls, policy & audit

Controls written down, and proven

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

Drilled inSecure is one thing. Proving it is another.

Three sectors, one habit
i.

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.

ii.

Prove it is safe

Not trust us: written down, controls documented, defensible to someone paid to doubt you.

iii.

Write it down

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

None of that switched off when the tool became AI. If anything it matters more now, because AI makes it effortless to ship something that looks finished and is quietly full of holes.

The standard government and enterprise demand, minus the price tag

The same care, pointed at the tools your team will actually open on a Monday morning. No slide decks, no six-figure theatre. That is the whole idea behind VibeZero.

The gap

The tools are incredible, the results? Not always

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 docs, analyses data, handles queries.
What most businesses get

Insecure apps, broken automations, teams treating AI like a search engine

  • Vibe-coded apps shipped without security review.
  • Automations that break silently when inputs shift.
  • ChatGPT used as Google, not a business tool.
Approach

Our approach to AI consulting

01Speed

Speed over perfection theatre

Scope conservatively, deliver fast. Most projects wrap in weeks, not quarters. If something does not make sense for your business, we will tell you before you spend a cent.

02Honesty

Honest advice, not hype

We will not tell you AI is going to replace your workforce. Some processes benefit from AI. Some do not. We will tell you which is which, even when the answer is not yet or not worth it.

03Fit

Built for SMBs, not enterprises

We work with businesses under 50 staff. The Big Four will charge six figures for a strategy deck. We will charge a fraction of that, and actually build the thing.

04Location

Perth-based, nationally available

Perth means lower operating costs than Sydney or Melbourne firms. We pass that on. On-site across the Perth metro, remote delivery nationally.

Founder

The founder behind VibeZero

Josh, Perth-based technologist

Founder · Engineer · government and enterprise background

VibeZero was founded by Josh, and much of the track record above is his: 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: help Australian SMBs use AI properly, securely, and without the six-figure consulting theatre. The same standards government and enterprise work demands, brought to businesses that rarely get that calibre of help.

Why Perth is the right base

Perth's tech sector is growing rapidly, and the mining & resources ecosystem creates unique demand for practical AI solutions. The cost base lets us price competitively without cutting corners.

Being in Perth is not a limitation. It is an advantage. We are close to the industries that benefit most from pragmatic AI work, and we operate on a cost base that lets SMB budgets reach much further.

What our clients say

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.

Natasja KleinmanFounder, Flexi Tribe
Working with VibeZero was refreshingly straightforward. No jargon, no upselling, just solid work delivered on time. They understood our business from the first call and built exactly what we asked for. I'd recommend them to any small business looking to actually get results from AI.

FAQ

Common questions about us

No. We are an AI consulting and agentic development firm. We use advanced prompt engineering, autonomous coding agents, and AI workflows to deliver software up to 10x faster than traditional agencies while retaining enterprise-grade human review layers.

Perth serves as a highly robust testing ground for scalable operations, particularly within resources, logistics, and heavy industry. It also affords lower operational overheads, allowing us to deliver premium services nationally at highly competitive rates.

We operate a deliberately lean firm of senior technical talent. We do not hire junior developers to learn on your dime. You work directly with the engineers designing and building your systems.

VibeZero was founded in 2026 by Josh, a Perth-based technologist whose background spans state government, enterprise and not-for-profit work: large-scale web platforms, infrastructure and operations, and security and governance controls, including standing in the room for the audits that prove those controls hold up. VibeZero is the newest chapter of that same track record, applied to AI. We are upfront that we are a young firm; what we bring instead is years of prior delivery experience and a deliberately narrow, senior-only way of working.

Yes. VibeZero holds SMB1001 Silver (Level 2) certification and partners with CyberCert, both visible in the footer of this site. We are Perth-based and work with clients nationally. We are a small, senior-only firm rather than a large agency, and we are open about that: you can verify our certification status and track record before engaging us, and we would rather you did.
