> Software, hardware and apparel. Mostly built in private. Based in Sydney.

I design things and build them, usually more than one at a time: web portals, firmware, phone apps and clothes. Almost all of it lives in private repos. The public ones are the ones someone asked to see.

## Now

- [Health Agent](https://healthagent.com.au): Frontend developer · full time. Pharma patient-assistance programs.
- [Arctiq](https://arctiqservices.com.au): Director · brand and strategy. Refrigeration and monitoring for the vaccine cold chain.
- [404 Training](https://404training.com): Co-founder · technical director. Activewear, with hardware on the side.

## 2026: 2026 at a glance (Dec 2025 – Nov 2026)

A year ago I was a frontend developer. I'd come out of a Bachelor of Commerce (Finance) at Macquarie and taught myself to code. This year I stopped picking work by what I already knew, and started taking on whatever the idea needed.

- DOOP: Strain, recovery and sleep scores of my own, from my own sensor data.
- Now Playing: A music visualiser that picks out the drums, the notes and the vocals.
- Lanternist: A film-tracking app, on TestFlight.

## 2025 (Mar – Nov 2025)

Page: https://www.kieranjackson.com/2025

I'd just finished a Bachelor of Commerce (Finance) and taught myself enough code to be useful. A first software job, an internship that turned into paid work, and a business that didn't work out. Then a quiet few months, a busy November, and the full-time job from 1 December.

125 contributions · 11 repos started · 1st software job

- First software job: Tools for a maths education company.
- Internship: Unpaid, then paid: the platform behind an outage-alert service.
- A business: AI voice for real-estate agents. The tech worked; selling it didn't.
- Side projects: A screen-splitting app, a trip planner and a task board.

Public projects:

- [GridAlert Portal](https://github.com/KezLahd/GridAlertPortal) (Dec): The outage alerts portal: Next.js, Supabase and PostGIS.
- [eurotrip](https://github.com/KezLahd/eurotrip) (Jun): An itinerary app for four mates through Europe.
- [reverly](https://github.com/KezLahd/reverly) (Jun): AI voice software for real-estate agents.
- [HackathonWeb](https://github.com/KezLahd/HackathonWeb-nr) (May): A two-person task board, built while learning to code.
- [Screen Split](https://github.com/KezLahd/Screen-Split) (Apr): Screen, webcam and logo in one window. Python and PyQt6.

Tools: Next.js, TypeScript, Supabase, Tailwind, Python, PostGIS
