01 — About
Hi, I'm Tristan.
I'm a Melbourne-based full-stack developer who works behind the scenes for agencies — building, supporting, and maintaining websites and tools on their behalf, under their banner.
Outside of agency work I build useful tools — Parkingmap.Melbourne and Colourfully are two I've shipped publicly.
When you work with me, you talk directly to the person writing the code — no account managers, no handoffs. I keep my client list small so your work never gets deprioritised for a bigger account.

04
Specialist support
A technical problem your creative team doesn't normally solve. That includes prototypes built with Lovable, Bolt or v0 that need to be secure, fast and searchable before they go live.

Your client.
Your creative.
My code.

You remain the account owner. I don't insert myself between you and your client.
Your creative direction
Development follows your approved designs and strategy.
Your brand
Work happens behind the scenes, with no visible trace of Denim.
Your delivery process
I fit into your existing workflow rather than asking you to change around me.
04 — Process
You bring the brief. I handle the build.
A clear process from brief to launch, with no surprises.
- Step 01
Send the brief
A Figma file, a project scope, an existing site, a technical problem — even a rough description is enough to start.
Brief received
- Step 02
Scope
I identify the technical requirements, assumptions, timeline and estimated cost, and confirm it with you before anything begins.
Fixed quote or retainer
- Step 03
Build
I work directly with your team or independently behind the scenes — whichever fits the engagement.
Regular progress updates
- Step 04
Deliver
You retain ownership of the client relationship and the delivery. I hand off clean, documented work.
