Meet David Chen

After 20+ years building enterprise software for Fortune 500 companies across Australia and Asia, I realized something was missing: the personal touch that small businesses deserve.

In 2020, I made Perth my permanent home and shifted focus to what I'm passionate about - helping local SMEs compete with the big players through smart, affordable technology.
