Eight years building React Native at Donnish. The shortest chain between idea and ship of any team I have worked on.
SENIOR MOBILE ENGINEER · 8 YEARS · MANILA
§ 01About
Donnish is named after the rigour. Not the noise.
Brisbane software consultancy founded by Quinn van Heerden. Over 20 years across enterprise technology: building products, leading delivery teams, negotiating vendor contracts. Run lean. Named humans. No reseller targets.
§ 02What we believe
Five things we hold to.
These are the rules we run the business on. They are why our clients come back, and why our engineers stay.
Evidence over hype
Numbers, not slogans. We name the saving, name the client, and name the referee you can call.
Named humans, not headcount
You hire people, not a logo. Every engineer has a name, a role, and a tenure. No body shop.
No reseller targets
Procurement advice that earns when you save, never when you spend more. Independent by design.
Lean is a discipline, not a budget
Small teams that ship beat large teams that meet. We staff to the work, not to the invoice.
Brisbane-led, APAC-delivered
Australian leadership. Manila engineering. Same hours, same standards, same accountability.
§ 03The team (unnamed)
What it's like to ship here.
We do not put team faces on the website. Three voices from inside the team, attributed by role and tenure.
Calm, deliberate, no-drama delivery. The clients do not disappear and neither do we. That is the whole job.
