Software developers in Perth.

Joshua has been at the helm of Code Forge since it started in 2023, but he's been building software since 2007. He's tackled all sorts of problems, from traceability systems for mining construction projects to custom integrations and more SQL Server databases than he'd care to count.

That experience shapes how we work: he'd rather learn the best tool for the job than stick with the ones he knows, and if you're taking an app to market, he'll happily explain why it should be native.

What he enjoys most about Code Forge is that no two projects are the same, so every new problem makes the next build better. The urge to build doesn't stop at work, either. He'd sooner make something himself than buy it off the shelf, whether it's software, a piece of furniture or a fix around the house. And when he does put the tools down, he's either deep in a game or breakdancing.

Cameron joined the team in 2020, before we were even called Code Forge, which makes him our longest-serving developer. His background is in mathematics and computer science, and he has the analytical mind to match.

He loves the variety. Working on every part of an app, for all kinds of businesses, keeps him learning about new industries and switching between roles.

Outside of work, Cameron instils fear in his squash and table tennis opponents. He's got a keen ear for classical music as well, playing both the piano and cello. His latest interest is the Steam Frame, which (fun fact) is his first foray into video games.

Matthew came on board in late 2023, and he's no stranger to a conversation: almost four years in call centres before university gave him a knack for asking the right questions and getting on with people. Mobile apps were a big interest all through his degree and his first two software jobs, one at a startup and one at a consultancy. Starting out as a big cog in a small machine taught him to own his work, stay practical and set a high bar.

He's involved from start to finish, but his favourite parts are the first and the last: asking a client what they need, then hearing straight from them that the software is pulling its weight for a local business.

Matthew's a keen gardener with a soft spot for cacti, which he propagates himself. His taste in music runs to anything with a hint of drum and bass, hip hop or jazz, preferably live. He's a tinkerer too, whether it's VR, smart home systems or 3D printing.

Nathan got his first taste of life at Code Forge in 2024, when he interned with us in his penultimate year of university. Starting out in front-end development, he quickly fell for UI/⁠UX design.

After graduating, he set off around the world with just a backpack, in search of various sketchy activities. A lover of the outdoors, he's been scuba diving, climbing volcanoes and relaxing in the backcountry.

In 2026, Nathan returned to us (in one piece) as a developer, and now uses his creative eye to lead design and UI/⁠UX development at Code Forge. He makes sure the software we build is easy and pleasant for everyone to use. With a background in sales, he puts clients first and works closely with them to get the design right.
