Building Software That Actually Works
We started igniteonmaxon in 2019 because we kept seeing the same problem. Businesses would launch software that looked great on paper but fell apart when real people used it. Bugs that should've been caught early. Systems that couldn't handle normal traffic. Features that seemed good in meetings but confused actual users.
Testing shouldn't be an afterthought. And debugging shouldn't be a crisis response. That's what drives us every day in Port Macquarie and beyond.

What We Actually Believe
Most testing companies talk about processes and methodologies. That matters, sure. But what really matters is understanding that every bug we catch is a real person who won't get frustrated with your software. Every performance issue we fix is a customer who'll stick around instead of leaving.
We've worked with retail platforms during Boxing Day sales, healthcare systems managing patient data, and logistics software coordinating deliveries across Queensland. Different industries, same truth—when software fails, real people deal with the consequences.
- Test like you're the one who'll have to use it at 3am when something goes wrong
- Find problems before your customers do, not after they've already complained
- Explain issues in plain language that helps teams fix things faster
- Build testing approaches that fit how your team actually works
- Remember that behind every error message is someone trying to get their job done
How We Work With Teams
We've learned that the best testing happens when we're part of your development process, not bolted on at the end. Here's what that looks like in practice.
Early Integration
We start working with your team during planning stages. Catching architectural issues before code gets written saves weeks of rework later. One retail client avoided a complete database redesign because we spotted scaling problems in the initial specs.
Real-World Scenarios
Test cases based on how people actually use your software, not just happy-path scenarios. We've found critical issues by testing what happens when users do unexpected things—because they always do unexpected things.
Clear Communication
Bug reports that explain the business impact, not just technical details. Your product manager shouldn't need a computer science degree to understand why something matters. We prioritize issues based on real user impact.
People Behind The Process
Callum Threlfall
Lead Testing Engineer
Spent eight years breaking e-commerce platforms before anyone else could. Previously worked at a major Sydney fintech where he built their entire QA infrastructure from scratch. Now focuses on helping smaller Australian businesses get enterprise-level testing.
Sienna Wollard
Performance Specialist
Former backend developer who switched to testing after watching too many systems fall over under load. She's the one who stress-tests your application like it's Black Friday, every single day. Has a talent for finding bottlenecks nobody else notices.
Freya Dunstan
QA Automation Lead
Builds test automation that actually works long-term, not just for demos. Worked with healthcare software in Brisbane where bugs weren't just annoying—they were dangerous. That experience taught her testing isn't just about finding errors, it's about protecting people.
