Custom web, mobile, and AI-powered systems built by an Australian-led engineering team.
Shockwave Media is an Australian-led software engineering studio specialising in scalable web platforms, mobile applications, and AI-powered systems.
We work with founders and established businesses who need more than just code — they need reliable execution, clear communication, and systems that are built to scale from day one.
Our team blends deep technical expertise with real-world product thinking. That means we don’t just build what’s asked — we help shape what should be built, ensuring performance, security, and long-term maintainability are never an afterthought.
From early-stage MVPs through to production-grade platforms, Shockwave Media partners with clients who value quality engineering and long-term outcomes.
We clarify outcomes, constraints, and success metrics before building.
We map the UX, data, and stack so delivery stays predictable.
Fast sprints, clear communication, and QA checkpoints throughout.
Release safely, monitor performance, then scale with confidence.
In select cases, we partner with founders as a long-term technical co-builder

Architecture + delivery into a stable, scalable platform.
Shockwave Media was co-founded by Daniel Hooper, a software and product leader focused on building dependable platforms that scale in real-world environments. The company was incorporated in 2015, reflecting nearly a decade of continuous delivery across commercial, regulated, and high-growth projects.
Daniel works closely with founders and business leaders to translate ideas into production-ready systems — guiding architecture decisions, development strategy, and long-term technical direction from the outset.
With a strong focus on scalability, reliability, and clean execution, Daniel is known for helping early-stage concepts mature into platforms that can operate confidently under real operational pressure, not just in theory.
Rather than operating as a traditional agency, Shockwave Media acts as a long-term technical partner — aligning engineering decisions with business goals, growth plans, and commercial reality from day one.
