Team - One team, accountable end to end.
Programbuilt owns your engagement from the first decision to shipped product. One senior architect leads it and directs the specialists who go deep where the work calls for it. You deal with one accountable team the whole way.
Kevin Mack, founder
Programbuilt was founded by Kevin Mack after thirteen years running a national events business on the systems it builds today.
The chairs Programbuilt fills
- Your technology chair (CTO)
- Interim and fractional CTO cover
- Chief growth engineering
- Commerce and finance systems architecture
- Solution architecture
We build systems that sell, take the money, and do the books.
Programbuilt comes out of thirteen years running a national events business on technology and vision: a hundred and fifty shows, $60 million in revenue, and a Shopify Build A Business award in media and technology.
But the years are not what made it work. The technology is. Every year the goal was the same, make more profit and do less, and every year the same problems stood in the way of it. The checkout, the invoices, the reconciliation, the chasing. So we build systems that solve them once, instead of hiring people to solve them every week.
Ten thousand hours of building since: checkouts, payment rails, reconciliation, and the agents that sit around all three.
That is the model we bring to your business. We come in, design the system that optimises your selling, and automate it. Then we automate the payables behind it. Sales systemised, finance systemised, and both tuned to scale in volume without scaling headcount.
Everyone shares one goal in modern business: to own a modern money-making machine. We build them.
You can sell more, for less.

One team, inside your business
Built inside your business, and yours to own.
Can you sell more, for less?
Accountability - One team, accountable to the outcome.
Most AI projects fail to deliver what they set out to. RAND’s study of more than 2,400 enterprise initiatives puts the failure rate above 80%, and the cause is rarely the technology. It’s the absence of a clear business objective and one owner accountable for delivering it. Programbuilt is built the other way.
- You own it. The system and the IP are yours, handed over clean and documented.
- Tested before it ships. Testing is part of the build, not an afterthought, so what you get is production-ready.
- Always visible. You follow the build on a live dashboard, step by step, so you always know where it stands.
- One accountable owner. Programbuilt holds the outcome end to end: one architect leads your build and directs the specialists behind them. You deal with one team, and accountability stays in one place.
How we work
We work one of two ways, and both deliver one clear outcome. We build you a product or solution, a defined piece of work you own outright at handover. Or Programbuilt sits as your technology chair, owning your architecture, your AI and your build as an ongoing part of your team. Either way, one team owns the result, and the relationship is built to outlast the first engagement.
Where we work
We work globally, and most of it is remote. But some engagements need us in the room, where understanding your business properly calls for it, and then we come to you. These are the places we work in and travel to.
- Australia
- United States
- Canada
- United Arab Emirates
- United Kingdom
- Hong Kong
