We built Dinode because we lived the problems firsthand — and knew there had to be a better way.
Before Dinode, our founders built Kapish — an enterprise software company focused on document and records management for government and regulated industries. Over ten years, Kapish grew to serve 200+ clients, generated over $10m in annual revenue, and was successfully acquired by The Citadel Group (ASX:CGL) in 2016.
Through those 200+ implementations across local, state, and federal government, defence, education, and health, the same lesson kept showing up: the people who understand the business best are the ones least able to shape the software they depend on. They're forced to explain their world to developers who don't live in it, then wait months for something that's already out of date by the time it ships.
We founded Dinode to close that gap. The xMS platform puts application development directly in the hands of the people who understand the problem — backed by AI, built on open-source infrastructure, and designed so your team can ship in days and adapt in minutes.
Founder & CEO
Self-taught software engineer who built his first content management system at 19. Combines deep technical ability with a sharp understanding of how businesses actually operate — equal parts architect, analyst, and end user. Co-founded Kapish in 2007 and grew it to 200+ clients before its acquisition by The Citadel Group (ASX:CGL) in 2016. Known for cutting through complexity fast and building practical solutions that work in the real world.
Head of Engineering
Engineering leader and technology specialist who brings serious scale-up experience to Dinode. Led the modernisation of CBA's critical online assets, disrupted superannuation through the development of a new online experience, and launched Zip Money into international markets. Responsible for the engineering vision, architecture, and delivery of the xMS platform.
Advisor
Records specialist by trade with a unique combination of recordkeeping and technical skills that earned him a reputation as an industry leader in designing and implementing large electronic document and records management systems at scale. Created the Kapish Delivery Methodology (KDM), achieving a 100% implementation success rate over ten years — most of those systems still run in production today. Trained at the University of Melbourne over eight years in one of the world's leading records management and archiving programs, where he first met Simon and the Kapish partnership began.
We're driven by our clients' outcomes. Their success is our success — no vanity metrics, just real results.
Enterprise doesn't have to mean complicated. We obsess over making powerful tools that are genuinely simple to use.
We combine the right technology with strategic advice, tailored to each organisation's unique needs and goals.
