One team. Idea to launch, and after.

We plan it, design it, build it and ship it. You call the shots and see real progress every week.

Hard problems are our favourite kind.

We build for scale from day one, answer fast, and don't disappear after launch. Most clients come back, or send their friends.

Pick your problem.

Most projects land in one of these. Not sure which is yours? Tell us what's going on and we'll sort it out.

  • Web apps and MVPs

    Got an idea that needs to go live, or a vibe-coded app that's starting to crack? We'll build it properly, on architecture that scales and stays secure. The apps we've built handle thousands of users and millions of requests a month, and our lead developers cut their teeth in cybersecurity.Web apps and MVPs →

  • Data and automation

    AI can scrape a simple site, but it gets blocked the moment things get serious, and it won't hand you millions of rows every day. That's our home turf. We reverse-engineer the hardest sites and build scrapers that keep running at scale, long after the easy tools give up.Data and automation →

  • Business systems

    Your business has outgrown spreadsheets and a pile of tools that don't talk to each other. We replace the mess with one system built around how your team works, from ERPs and management systems to portals and point of sale.Business systems →

  • Launch and marketing

    Got a product but not enough buyers? We'll make it look the part, then run the content, SEO, demand gen and lead gen that turn strangers into paying customers.Launch and marketing →

Live and running.

Client systems, data pipelines and products of our own, all live right now. Click through, poke around, and see how we build.

Most of our scraping work is private client work, so it isn't listed here. Ask on the call and we'll walk you through what we can share.

Open source

We give some of it away. These libraries pull data from YouTube, Reddit, Shopify, WordPress and Google Maps, and developers install them from PyPI every day.

Why clients come back.

Most of our work comes from people who've hired us before, or people they sent our way. Here's why.

  • Hard problems are the fun part.

    Give us the site that blocks every scraper or the app that can't go down. That's the work we look forward to, and we solve it properly, even when there's a quicker hack.

  • Built for scale from day one.

    We design your app or pipeline for the traffic and data you'll have next year, so when the users show up, it keeps running without a rewrite.

  • Always in the loop.

    You get a shared Slack or WhatsApp channel and a demo every week, so you're never left wondering where things stand.

  • We stick around.

    Launch is where most teams disappear. We stay on for fixes, updates and new features, and that's why most clients come back or send their friends.

Meet the people you'll work with.

5 of us, together since 2021. Here's who you'll actually be talking to.

IJ

Ijaz Ur Rahim

The one we hand the impossible jobs to. If a site blocks everything or an app has to survive a security audit, Ijaz is already on it.

SA
Co-founder · Product & growth

Shehriar Ahmad Awan

Usually your first call, and the one who'll ask who's actually going to pay for this. Then helps you reach them.

MK
Full stack · Business systems

Muhammad Hashaam Khan

Gets how a business actually runs, then builds the ERPs, portals and automation that let it run at scale.

MZ
Data engineering · Backend

Muhammad Zaid

Pulls data from the sites others give up on, and builds the backends that put it to work.

MT
Design & motion

Muhammad Talha

Makes sure everything we ship looks sharp, from the brand and the screens to the animations people remember.

Before you ask.

The stuff every new client asks. Got something else? Email us and you'll hear back the same day.

How much does a project cost?

Depends on what you need. We quote after the first conversation, in writing, before any work starts. Fixed projects have 1 price, paid in milestones. Got a budget in mind? Tell us, and we'll be straight about what it gets you.

Can we start with something small?

Please do. Plenty of clients start with 1 scraper or 1 integration, then hand us the bigger build once they've seen how we work.

We're not technical. Is that a problem?

Not at all, most of our clients aren't. We'll write the scope with you, suggest the smallest version worth building first, and explain every decision without the jargon.

Who owns what we build?

It depends on the type of project, and it's written into the proposal before any work starts, so you know exactly what you're getting.

Will you sign an NDA?

Yes. Send us yours before the first call, or we'll send ours.

How do payments work?

We invoice in USD or your currency, by bank transfer, Wise or Payoneer. Fixed projects are paid in milestones, retainers monthly.

What about time zones?

We're in Pakistan (UTC+5), so we overlap with the full European workday and the US morning. We set a regular call time at the start, and everything else happens in a shared channel.

What happens after launch?

We stay on. Keep us on a monthly plan for fixes, updates and new features, or just call us in when something comes up.

Tell us what you're building.

Send the basics. We'll reply the same day.
