We're Zhifei, an Australian software studio that designs, builds and looks after the systems businesses run on: booking and workflow platforms, fast websites, and the cloud underneath them. A certified project manager steers every job from first chat to launch — so you always know where things stand.
Most projects mix a few of these together. We take your system from first idea to launch day — and stay around to keep it running smoothly.
The systems your team lives in every day — bookings, workflows, operations — built to grow with you: secure APIs, admin consoles, staff and customer apps, dashboards and reporting, all working as one.
Recent: DentistDSS, CarPark booking
Fast, accessible websites that make it easy for customers to find you, read the menu and book online — every build measured against Core Web Vitals before it goes live.
Recent: Atmars café website
AWS architecture, containers, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring and private networking, set up properly — so shipping a release becomes routine and outages stay rare.
Clear scope, honest schedules, risk and stakeholder reporting — for software projects, including the ones already in trouble. You get a plan you can measure progress against, fortnight by fortnight.
Recent: China Telecom exhibition hall
Products we build and run ourselves, and websites we've designed for clients.
Live in production
Running a dental clinic means juggling bookings, patient records and compliance across half a dozen tools. DentistDSS brings the whole workflow into one platform — with an AI assistant that answers patients and gives staff a hand, right where the work happens.
Java, Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, Eureka, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Docker, TypeScript
In development
Residents reserve a space from their phone and scan a QR code at the gate to check in. Building managers allocate spaces from a simple admin console — no spreadsheets, no arguments over spots.
Spring Boot, Vue 3, Deno, MySQL
Concept project
A concept project for a fictional café, built like a real one: brand brief, menu, original photography and a performance-tuned build.
React, Vite, Tailwind CSS, Vercel
Every bar below is a project that made it to production. Some are Zhifei's own; the rest are enterprise systems our lead engineer delivered at China DataCom for telecom, government and property clients. Select one to read the story.
Aug 2021 – Sep 2022, technical lead
Every screen in a major exhibition hall — content server, Electron display clients and interactive WebGL exhibits — delivered as two development streams running in parallel.
Jun 2021 – Sep 2022, lead developer
Security, surveillance and access control for an entire office tower, brought onto one IoT platform — devices integrated, staff trained.
Aug 2020 – May 2021, back-end developer
One console for public cloud and on-premises servers alike. Scheduling resources on demand brought the client's infrastructure bill down.
Sep 2019 – Aug 2020, full-stack developer
Project portfolio, staffing and payroll for a government construction committee, rebuilt from legacy modules into one secured API.
Jan – Aug 2019, back-end developer
Programme scheduling, content updates and ad insertion, keeping IPTV fresh across 21 residential communities.
Feb 2018 – Jan 2019, full-cycle developer
Customers book a repair through WeChat; repair shops accept and track every order from one console.
Feb 2017 – Sep 2018, Java developer
Cross-branch dashboards that cut issue resolution time — and took large spreadsheet imports from over 10 minutes down to under 3.
The same four stages on every project — so you always know what's next, and what it costs.
We get clear on the problem, who'll use the system and what 'done' looks like. Then you get a written proposal with a fixed price or a capped budget.
Screens and architecture are settled on paper before a line of code is written — while changing your mind is still cheap.
Working software ships every two weeks, with a demo at the end of each round and room to change priorities in between.
We launch with monitoring and backups in place, hand over the documentation, and stay on to support and extend the system if you'd like.
Zhifei.org is led by Zhifei Mi, a software engineer and project manager based in NSW. He spent five years at China DataCom, working his way from engineer to software group leader and taking telecom, government and IoT systems from first requirements to final rollout.
He holds a Master of Computer Science from the University of Wollongong and a Master of Engineering from Arizona State University, and is a member of IEEE, ACM, PMI and Engineers Australia.
