Byron Mabbett is a business applications analyst with 11 years of hands-on experience bridging development and business needs across public and private sectors in Hawke's Bay, New Zealand. He combines full-stack development skills (Django, Postgres, Nginx), cloud automation (AWS, Ansible) and project leadership to deliver pragmatic, production-ready systems—most notably building and deploying the Terraprobe soil moisture application end-to-end for horticulture. Comfortable wearing multiple hats, Byron has been a company owner, systems solutions manager, and lecturer, translating complex requirements into simplified, auditable solutions while mentoring teams and students. He favors Agile practices and automation to reduce friction and accelerate delivery, with an eye for maintainable code and clear documentation. Equally at home in a government council or a startup lounge room, he brings entrepreneurial grit and a daylight-tested focus on getting things done. An unusual strength is his background spanning conservation, hospitality and technical roles, which gives him practical empathy for diverse stakeholders and real-world operational constraints.
