Solution Architecture • AI / Agentic Apps and Workloads • Full-Stack Development
Requirements workshops, system design, and production builds. 20 years across fintech, government, healthcare, and AI platforms. Northern Rivers, NSW.
Hinterland Technologies is a technical consultancy founded in Eureka, Northern Rivers NSW.
Founded by Jerram Watters, Principal Consultant, the studio brings 20 years of delivery experience - from Australia's first online superannuation signup to modern AI systems. The projects I'm proudest of are the ones that made a real difference: digital Family Violence Intervention Order systems, healthcare platforms connecting patients to practitioners, compliance apps replacing lever-arch folders with mobile-first builds.
I specialise in the full journey: understanding what needs to be built, designing how it should work, and delivering production-ready software. I am equally comfortable facilitating a requirements workshop with non-technical stakeholders as architecting complex system integrations.
Workshops, requirements gathering, process mapping, technical BA and delivery planning. Turning a rough idea, broken process or business need into a clear scope, architecture and build plan.
Design and delivery of complex web, mobile, API and AI integration projects. Full-stack development, system integration, cloud deployment, testing and production handover.
Senior technical leadership for businesses that need someone to own the technology direction, delivery decisions, vendor conversations, architecture, hiring support or ongoing platform roadmap.
I work with you from initial concept through to production deployment.
Stakeholder workshops, requirements gathering, process mapping and technical BA.
System design, integration planning, data flows, technical specifications and delivery approach.
Full-stack development, API integrations, automation workflows, AI-assisted tooling and platform implementation.
Cloud hosting, release planning, testing, monitoring, documentation and production support.
Ongoing technical leadership, roadmap planning, platform improvements, vendor management and AI-enabled process automation.
Extensive experience designing, building and supporting secure web, mobile, API and AI-enabled systems across finance, government, healthcare, real estate, adtech, publishing and compliance.
Full-stack web and mobile applications, from frontend implementation through API design, service integration, deployment and ongoing support.
Applied AI systems for real business workflows, including agentic tools, LLM orchestration, document analysis, content classification, RAG pipelines and AI-assisted process automation.
Connecting CRM, payment, ERP, healthcare, compliance and SaaS platforms through reliable API integrations, data synchronisation and event-driven workflows.
Supporting or replacing manual handling with deterministic workflows, automation pipelines and system integrations that reduce operational overhead and improve consistency.
Discovery workshops, journey mapping, requirements gathering and technical BA work that bridges the gap between business stakeholders and production delivery.
Fractional CTO, tech lead and solution architecture support for businesses that need senior technical ownership across delivery, architecture, hiring, reviews, DevOps and platform roadmap.
Excellence across Finance, Government, Healthcare, Real Estate, Adtech, Publishing, and Compliance sectors.
Most projects start with a focused build phase: enough discovery to understand the problem properly, then a working demo or proof of concept within 2–3 weeks.
From there, the work usually moves into an MVP build, production release, and ongoing iteration as the system beds into the business.
