Giant Robot

Monkey Records is an icon of the New Zealand music scene. With a growing stable of independent artists in a variety of genres, they have been promoting and supporting a uniquely Kiwi flavour for several years.

DMD contracted us to customise an off-the-shelf Perl webmail application for this purpose.

Some of the clients and organisations I was involved with before the Robot formed itself out of the spare parts from Resolver, Ibex and Moebius Systems were:
