ABC featured our flood dashboard for regional innovation. Built remote, designed for resilience, GAUGE turns live data into clarity when communities need it most.

Steve built GAUGE while floodwater was literally rising around Clermont. It pulls live data from BOM, Queensland Traffic, rain radar, dam levels, and regional council sensors, then turns it into something you can actually understand at 2am when it matters. ABC News and ABC Radio picked it up because it solved a real problem that nobody else was solving.
