Hi - I'm Petra Gulicher (aka Petch):
Solutions Architect,
Tech Leader, &
People-Person.


Hacking on the internet since 2000, I'm experienced in system design & integration, full-stack web development, & tech leadership. Based in Sydney, Australia I've worked with some of Australia's most loved brands across consulting, agency & principal roles.

Specialising in human-first technology, values-led product development, and making complex systems approachable. I can translate tech speak into clear and actionable steps for my teams.

Want more buzz-words? I've got you:

  • Cloud development for scale
  • Systems design that strikes a balance between cost, time & quality
  • TypeScript, Node.js, JavaScript, Python, Go, etc
  • Continuous improvement to help teams reach high-performance
  • Product development to grow a vision into reality
