Quality IT Services

Maungawhau IT has been providing quality IT services since 2002.


Small is Beautiful


We are a small company, able to be both flexible and agile in development.

We are focused on websites, cloud, and e-commerce projects. Something that can be delivered in under a month, not several years. Projects which can be easily summarised and understood - so our customer knows what is delivered, and we know what they expect.

Tools of the Trade

Maungawhau IT specialises in all things Unix and Linux. This leads naturally to webservers, e-commerce, and all things Internet.

We have experience delivering containerised solutions using Ubuntu, Docker, Python, MySQL, and PostgreSQL - and running them with Kubernetes and running on either Amazon Cloud. or Microsoft Azure.
