Our Story

We are Digistorm

From designing the first school app in Australia, to building industry-leading school websites and admission software for schools around the world, here's our story.

Where we started

Digistorm was founded in 2011 with a three person team, a few computers and some big ideas to solve problems for schools.

After launching the first Australian school app in 2012, Digistorm now develops custom school apps, websites, and admission management systems for K-12 schools around the world.

It's our mission to create the best products that solve complex problems and bring tech full circle for schools just like yours.

Our values

These are the core values that drive the Digistorm team

01. Committed

We take our work and our team seriously

The success of Digistorm depends on a team that is committed to our clients, committed to improving the education industry, and committed to each other. Our team act with kindness, compassion, and respect, no matter who we’re speaking to, and we give 100% to deliver the best quality work we can.

02. Fun

But, we don’t take ourselves too seriously

We believe work is only work if you make it so. Our team brings fun and enjoyment to the workplace - by pursuing projects we find exciting and interesting, by maintaining a friendly and relaxed office, and by providing great perks (free snacks anyone?).

03. Competitive

Play fair, play hard, play to win

While we maintain a relaxed and friendly work environment, we are a results-driven company, dedicated to staying one step ahead of the competition. Our company has achieved great things with few people because we take full ownership of our projects and don’t wait for guidance.

We’re on a mission to create the best products that solve complex problems for schools around the world.

Digistorm Team

Allow us to introduce ourselves

We're a diverse bunch, but share our core values and a passion for creating the best work we can for our schools.

Meet our management team

Tim Oswald 🇦🇺

Managing Director

Tim lives for the excitement of building our business (he started it!), but we suspect skiing and eating in Japan comes in a close second.

Chris Lang 🇳🇿

Director of Sales & Marketing

Chris leads our client facing teams with almost as much vigour and enthusiasm as his passion for the golf course.

Jamie Giblett 🇦🇺

Sales Manager - USA

When he’s not running our USA operations, Jamie tries his luck on the Colorado ski slopes (with mixed success).

Clay Papillon 🇨🇦

Sales Manager - Australia

Clay manages our Australian sales team, but to us he’s the man with the mysterious moustache (and resident stock broker).

Gustavo Morao 🇻🇪

Lead Software Developer

Gus loves tech and coding so much, he sometimes even dreams about it! (He’s also our favourite local meme model and salsa dancer).

Monica Gill 🇦🇺

Customer Experience Manager

Monica puts our customers at the centre of everything we do, but outside of work she’s a team sport fanatic and keen permaculturist!

Timo Nieuwoudt 🇿🇦

Head of Marketing

Although all things brand is his professional passion, Timo’s cringe-worthy celebrity encounters are what he’s known for in the office.

60+ employees

We have 60+ incredible employees across Australia and the USA.

20 nationalities

Our diverse team is made up of employees from around the globe.

2 offices

From the surf to the slopes, our offices have nature on their doorstep.
