TechByBilbo, based in Toowoomba, Queensland, designs, builds and runs sports technology: software for Olympic weightlifting federations, broadcast-ready live competition graphics, and the websites and systems behind them. Consulting, DNN and .NET development for small businesses too.
services
Whether you need advice before you spend, a site that's easy to run, or a system nobody sells off the shelf — you deal directly with the people doing the work. Usually that's me; on bigger jobs I bring in trusted specialists.
Independent advice on systems, platforms and vendors, from a sports technologist with business superpowers. Business cases, architecture reviews, technical roadmaps, and a plain-English second opinion before you commit budget.
consultingWebsites and web apps on DNN and ASP.NET — custom themes, modules and integrations, plus upgrades and rescue work for existing DNN sites.
DNN & .NET developmentWhen the off-the-shelf option doesn't fit, I design and build the software that does — from internal tools and workflows to data-heavy operational systems.
bespoke systemsHosting, servers, cloud and networks set up so they're secure, backed up and boring — in the best way. Migrations, IIS and Windows Server, and cloud platforms.
cloud & infrastructuresport tech
Sport runs on tight timelines and zero tolerance for downtime. I've built and supported the technology behind competitions at club, national and international level — the systems that have to work the moment the bar leaves the floor.
Entries, athlete management, live scoring and results — from the warm-up room to the scoreboard. Now packaged as myPlatform.
Broadcast workflows and live graphics fed by competition data, with webcasting that holds up for hours.
Sites that members, athletes and officials actually use — news, events, results and resources, easy for staff to keep current.
Rankings, records and membership data joined up across systems, with APIs so everything stays in sync.
built by bilbo
Software I've designed, built and still run — used everywhere from club competitions to world-level events.
flagship
The platform for running an Olympic weightlifting federation: members and clubs, competitions, rankings, gradings and records in one system, built around how weightlifting actually works.
Club registration and renewals, member self-service, membership and technical-official registers.
Bodyweight, Sinclair and masters rankings, gradings and national records, calculated from results.
Entries, weigh-ins, scoring and results, start to finish.
Public live results and on-screen graphics, fed straight from the competition.

On-screen graphics driven by live competition data, used from club competitions to world-level events. Works with national competition systems and the IWF's system.
live graphicsNational federation sites that did far more than a website: members, events and results in one place. The groundwork that became myPlatform.
Webcast workflows for championships: cameras, encoding and graphics put together to run reliably for full competition days.
approach
Every engagement follows the same simple shape, whether it's a one-hour review or a system that runs for years.
We start with the problem, not the technology. What needs to happen, who's using it, and what "done" looks like.
Practical, well-documented solutions sized to your budget, with regular check-ins so there are no surprises.
You own what's built. You get documentation, training if you need it, and support for as long as you want it.
about
I'm a sports technologist based in Toowoomba: two decades in IT, more than ten years of it in sport.
I work across the whole stack — strategy, .NET and DNN development, servers and cloud — and hold a Masters in Management, so I'm as comfortable with the business case and the board paper as with the code. It's mostly just me; on bigger projects I bring in a few trusted collaborators.
