About ForgeIT
The story behind the anvil.
Hi, I'm Jacques Olivier
Jacques Olivier is the founder and lead engineer at ForgeIT, a veteran fullstack software engineer who has built enterprise platforms, startup MVPs, and everything in between across a career spanning over a decade.
ForgeIT was founded to bridge the gap between AI hype and real engineering. Too many businesses are being sold AI solutions by people who can't actually build them. At ForgeIT, every solution is designed, built, and deployed by Jacques directly — no outsourcing, no middlemen, no project managers in between.
ForgeIT clients work directly with the person engineering their software — whether that's AI automation, a custom web application, or connecting existing business systems together.
How We Work
Honesty First
Direct communication, always. If something won't work, we'll tell you. If there's a better way, we'll show you. No fluff, no upselling, no hidden agendas.
Efficiency Obsessed
Every solution we build is designed to save real time and deliver measurable results. We don't build features nobody asked for or solutions nobody needs.
Partnership, Not Transactions
We build long-term relationships, not one-off projects. Your success is our success, and we're in it for the long haul.
Bridging AI Hype and Real Engineering
ForgeIT's mission is to give mid-market Australian businesses access to AI and automation — built by an engineer who can actually deliver it.
The AI consulting landscape is crowded with firms that sell solutions they can't build. ForgeIT exists to change that — combining deep fullstack engineering expertise with practical business understanding to deliver solutions that work in production, not just in demos.
ForgeIT serves healthcare providers automating patient workflows, mining companies needing real-time data dashboards, professional services firms streamlining operations, trades businesses automating admin, and e-commerce companies scaling with custom tools.
