š Iāll be at @DDDPerth this weekend on the @MakerXAU booth!
Whether you're thinking about your next move or just want to understand how we approach product development, flexibility, and culture, Iām always up for a convo! ā¤ļø
Weāll be at @DDDPerth this weekend! Swing by the MakerX booth to meet some of our crew and have a chat about what itās like working with (or at!) a remote-first R&D studio that helps ambitious companies build incredible products!
Whether youāre curious about how we work, want to talk tech and product, or just want a sticker and a good convo, weāre keen to connect!
Youāll find us there all day, come say hi! š
ā¤ļø At MakerX, we know that pets are part of the family. Thatās why flexibility isnāt just a perk, itās part of how we work. Being able to shape our day means weāre present for the moments that matter, whether itās a lunchtime walk, a vet appointment, or just having our pets nearby. Itās one of the many ways we support balance, trust, and what matters most.
Startups love to ship fast, try new things, and keep moving. But what happens when something doesnāt land?
At this weekās Startup People Summit, our Head of People & Culture, @RacheGoodo, is sharing what happens when you donāt charge ahead, and why sometimes rolling it back is the most trust-building move of all.
š¬ Real stories from inside MakerX
š Treating culture like a product, not a policy
š§ Listening, adjusting, and owning the pivot
If youāve ever launched an initiative that didnāt quite stick, this oneās for you.
š¤ Why itās ok to roll it back (and why that builds trust)

I'm excited to be speaking at the Startup People Summit! Iāll be joining an incredible lineup to share practical, real-world strategies for navigating the messy, meaningful, high-stakes world of People & Culture in fast-moving startups.
Best-selling author, leading podcaster, and Professor of Physics at UCSD @briankeating just wrote a long email to thousands of people about something WE did last weekš
"This first-world problem would likely take my university's innovation committee six months"
"A random stranger just outperformed our entire university in problem-solving"
That's us !! we're that random stranger š
And it all started with a tweet from our @DataMuseum project
"At the end of a period of time, we review how the initiative went. Did it result in what we expected? (no, never, but thatās the interesting thing about an experiment)."

At MakerX, we donāt copy and paste culture. We experiment, we learn, we adapt together. Our Principal Designer, Donna Spencer, breaks down how we co-create internal initiatives that actually work for our team.

At MakerX, experimentation is in our DNA. But sometimes, the bravest thing you can do... is roll something back.
In our latest blog, our Head of People & Culture, @RacheGoodo, reflects on a few initiatives we tried thatĀ didnātĀ go as planned. Some we tweaked. Some we let go.Ā And in every case, we learned something valuable.
Because trust isnāt built by getting it perfect. Itās built by listening, staying flexible, and showing your team youāre in itĀ withĀ them.

At @MakerXAU , weāre intentional about creating a culture where people feel seen, supported, and free to connect in their own way. No forced fun. No one-size-fits-all. Just real, human-centred connection grounded in flexibility, autonomy, and belonging.

At MakerX, weāre not just building great productsāweāre building a remote culture where people feel connected, trusted, and free to be themselves. Instead of rigid rules or forced fun, we focus on flexibility, autonomy, and creating a real sense of belonging. Because connection doesnāt look the same for everyoneāand thatās exactly how it should be.
In our latest blog, our Head of People & Culture, @RacheGoodo, shares how weāre rethinking remote engagement at MakerX.

At MakerX, we're about embracing the benefits of what working flexibly can offer! Our Head of People & Culture recently shared how this flexibility lets her recharge and excel.Ā By working remotely, she can make an impact in her community without missing a beat in supporting our team. We believe work-life flexibility isn't just about balance; it's about designing a life where you can shine at work and do what makes you feel alive.
Flexibility isn't the only secret for empowering our Makers to build amazing things via R&D! Check out our blog to see what we've been working on and contact us if you want to talk through your unknowns!

I asked #Grok3 to write me something funny about AI and HRā¦.
"HRās new AI resume screener flagged me as āunfitā because my cover letter didnāt include enough buzzwords. Guess Iāll just buzz off and let the bots hire Clippy instead."
Womp womp ā¦.
At MakerX, our passion for experimentation drives our R&D studio culture. Our recent project āChoose Your Newsā showcased the power of innovationĀ andĀ problem solvingĀ as we transitioned from Wav2Lip to LatentSync for better lip-syncing avatars. This project underscores our commitment to pushing boundaries and solving complex challenges. #Innovation #MachineLearning #AI #TechInnovation
