PEOPLE, COMMUNITY, DELIVERY
Cloud Shuttle is a founder-led data engineering consultancy in Australia and New Zealand. We organise meetups and DataEngBytes, and we help clients ship platforms, pipelines, and AI evaluation practice that lasts.
Route // meetups → platforms → delivery
The same team that organises ANZ data communities helps clients ship pipelines, platforms, and AI evaluation practice.
Our Mission
Community & craft
We grow independent data engineering communities across Australia and New Zealand — meetups, workshops, and DataEngBytes — so practitioners have a place to learn and belong.
Delivery that lasts
We help clients ship data platforms, pipelines, and AI evaluation practice with the same care we bring to community programmes — clear ownership, open tooling where it fits, and outcomes you can defend in production.

Peter Hanssens
FOUNDER & CEO · NODE_01
Founder and CEO of Cloud Shuttle. HQ at UOW Innovation Campus, North Wollongong (4.772 Google reviews). Regular Sydney base at Stone & Chalk Tech Central, Haymarket. I focus on open source and community-led work — organiser of data engineering meetups across Australia and New Zealand. Outside work I coach my son's soccer team.
Ganesh Tiwari
DATA ENGINEER · NODE_02
Data engineer with six years across consulting and client teams — reliable pipelines, platforms, and clear handover to the people who operate them. Long-distance runner outside of work.
OUR VALUES
SYS_RELIABILITY_V3
Community first
We grow and support independent data engineering communities across Australia and New Zealand — meetups, workshops, and DataEngBytes — because practitioners deserve a vendor-neutral home before anyone sells them a platform.
Open, practical craft
We favour open source and boring technology that teams can operate. Fancy architecture only earns its place when it survives handover, on-call, and your next hire.
Outcomes you can defend
We measure success by what runs in production: trustworthy pipelines, clear ownership, and AI evaluation you can explain to leadership — not slide decks that age in a week.
