Our Story, Our DNA
At Mechanical Rock, we solve complex software challenges that hold your business back, building solutions your team can run with confidence.
We help companies design, build and deliver cloud-native solutions, leverage data platforms and unlock AI so your systems can run securely, reliably and at scale.
We started in Perth with a simple goal: to upskill and build a cloud community in Perth.
Over the years, we've become a trusted partner in Australia and the United Kingdom, supporting organisations in resources, energy, banking and entertainment and helping teams turn their complex software challenges into solutions they can confidently own.
From cloud solutions and data platforms to AI, we embed with your team, share what we know, and make sure you're set up to succeed long after we leave.

A new home in London
Back in 2014, our founder, Hamish Tedeschi, saw an opportunity in Western Australia to upskill and build a cloud community. Mechanical Rock opened its doors in Perth that same year and quickly established a strong customer base across the resources and energy, banking and entertainment sectors. Since then, Mechanical Rock has remained a trusted advisor in WA across Data and AI, product development and DevOps.
In 2024, Mechanical Rock expanded its operations into the UK, opening its second office in London in early 2025.
Building a cloud community in Western Australia
Continuing its mission to grow the cloud community in WA, Mechanical Rock started the Latency Conference in 2018. Eight years on, Latency draws crowds of up to 500 people annually and remains as Perth’s only conference dedicated to uplifting a thriving tech community focused on building secure, high-performing cloud-native products.
Who we partner with
We approach partnerships the same way we approach our work: deliberately and with care. We collaborate with the best technology providers out there to ensure your business can run securely, reliably, and at scale.
We've also teamed up with a number of impact partners - companies doing meaningful work to uplift people across the WA community. These impact partners hold a special place in our heart here at Mechanical Rock.
