About 3 Degrees North
Associations are the only thing we do.
Since 2010, we've been working exclusively with associations - helping them use technology to better serve their members. We bring deep sector knowledge, practical experience, and a genuine passion for what associations do.
The people behind 3DN
First there were three. Now there are six across Australia and India.
Mick Varga
Managing DirectorRead bio
Mick has devoted almost his entire working life to the not-for-profit sector, having worked in and then provided products and services to the sector since the early '90s. He is committed to improving the way organisations deliver to their members and supporters, and isn't shy about steering executives away from decisions that don't deliver real value.
Stuart Lee
Technical DirectorRead bio
With a degree in Engineering (IT) and over 25 years in the industry, Stuart has focused on intelligent integration - providing associations with the tools to do what they do best. His pet hates include data silos, double-entry and arduous manual processes. Prior to co-founding 3DN, Stuart spent 8 years as a senior technical consultant at ASI, partnering with clients across the globe.
Jay McCormack
Production DirectorRead bio
Jay has extensive web experience building and managing large-scale websites for both for-profit and non-profit organisations. At 3DN he plays the role of Solution Architect, bringing together all of the technical pieces to solve customer problems. Jay is passionate about the web and how technology can make organisations more efficient and effective.
Jarrod Lawson
Senior Business AnalystRead bio
Solutions-focused with a never-say-no attitude, Jarrod thrives on untangling complex problems and turning them into practical outcomes. A passionate footy man who coaches, plays and serves as treasurer at his local club, he also loves motorsport, golf and getting outdoors. A nerd at heart, Jarrod never stops learning - always curious about how things work and how they can work better.
Julian Smith
DeveloperRead bio
Julian has been tinkering with the web since teaching himself HTML in the mid-'90s. Over a decade of building solutions for university students gave him an ever-deepening preference for clean, reactive codebases - he has a low tolerance for clutter and repetition, and would rather spend time crafting an elegant solution than cobbling together workarounds. When not wrestling the balance of teaching and learning from AI, Julian plays upright bass, flute and percussion with folk, jazz and funk acts around Australia, and tends a 5-acre hobby farm where the chillies grow like weeds and get turned into smoked flakes and fermented hot sauce.
Sunanda Soni
DeveloperRead bio
Sunanda is an experienced .NET developer focused on building reliable, scalable web applications. A strong believer in clean, readable code and practical long-term solutions, she's collaborative and hands-on - happiest when solving real-world problems and working closely with teams and clients.
