Working as an Electrician and a Web Developer
How my electrical background and experience running a trade business inform the websites, apps and connected devices I build.
I’m an A-Grade electrician and a web developer in Melbourne. Through OakCodeAndTechSolutions, I work on electrical jobs and build websites, software and connected devices. The projects vary, but they share a need for careful problem solving.
What electrical work taught me
Electrical work involves understanding an existing installation, finding the cause of a problem and checking that the work does what it should. It also means explaining options clearly and leaving useful information for the next person who maintains it. Those habits carry into development work.
Understanding the business behind a website
Running a trade business gave me experience with quoting, scheduling and customer enquiries. When I build a website for a tradie, I can use that experience to ask better questions about services and the details needed for a quote. Perri Electrics is one example of that work.
Building tools for everyday work
Apps can help with the tasks that sit around a job: preparing quotes, tracking progress and keeping information together. My electrician management app brings quotes, tasks and site calculations into one tool. Working in the trade gives me a practical starting point for those features.
Where hardware and software meet
Connected devices bring both backgrounds together. A monitoring system needs suitable hardware and a way to collect and understand its readings. I can work on the device software, its interface and the electrical requirements as part of the project scope.
Working with me
You can book electrical work, a website or an app as a separate project. You work directly with me, and we agree on the scope and timing before starting. Browse the project portfolio or send an enquiry describing what you need help with.
