Fifteen years in.
Still building.
I work with the people trying to get more from technology — not the ones selling it. AI solutions, websites, cybersecurity, and digital strategy, delivered plainly and practically.

Who I am
Dave Bock is an Adelaide-based IT consultant with fifteen years of enterprise experience — from service desk to application development to leading teams on delivery projects. In 2026 he started a practice helping businesses solve technology problems: AI solutions that save hours, websites that bring in customers, SEO that replaces expensive agencies, and cybersecurity that protects what you've built. He holds a Graduate Certificate in Cyber Security from the University of Adelaide and builds with the same AI tools he implements for clients.
Background
Fifteen years in IT and coaching have taught me that the most valuable thing you can do in a technical environment isn't have all the answers. It's ask the right questions and create space for others to do their best thinking.
I started on the service desk. From there the path moved through team leadership, major incident management, service management analysis, and eventually into ServiceNow application development — building custom applications, designing connector architectures, and developing the governance frameworks that make integrations sustainable.
Along the way I led developer teams on delivery projects. I ran sprint ceremonies, managed workload, and mentored people through technical challenges — not from a title, but from the work itself. I've found that the best outcomes come when you focus less on directing and more on enabling.
In 2026 I started building this practice alongside my day job — because the people who actually build with AI, not just read about it, are the ones who can help others get it working. I'm learning by doing and sharing what I find along the way.
