Software studio · Lahore, Pakistan

Light, compiled.

We take work that has gotten complicated — the spreadsheet holding your operation together, the process nobody can explain, the system you inherited — and turn it into software your team can actually run.

compiling:

  • Fixed priceagreed before work starts
  • Weekly buildson a real URL, not a status slide
  • Your accountscode and servers in your name

Selected work

Systems in production across five countries.

The studio is new. The team is not.

Telecom data pipeline at national scale

Mobile network operator, Pakistan

Ingestion and transformation pipelines for a national mobile operator, handling hundreds of gigabytes of streaming files every day.

We rebuilt the file-parsing stage in Rust to convert roughly 170 GB of streaming XML into CSV for downstream analytics, applied ASN.1 decoding for accurate record handling, and put partition management, deduplication and retention policies across the storage layer. Root-cause tooling was added so file-level errors are traced rather than guessed at.

Software company, United Kingdom

A Laravel and Node platform with live call handling, recording and automatic transcription.

Event-driven architecture using Socket.io and Pusher for live updates, PBX integration for call handling, recordings stored to AWS S3, and Deepgram used to transcribe them back into the database as searchable text. Feature flags were driven through custom Laravel commands so releases could be switched on per client.

How we work

Four steps, in this order, every time.

The order matters, so we do not skip ahead. Most projects go wrong in step two, when nobody agreed what "done" meant.

  1. 01

    Brief Week 0 · free

    A call and a written summary of what you actually need — which is often not what you first asked for. You keep this document whether or not you hire us.

  2. 02

    Scope Week 1

    A fixed scope, a fixed price and a delivery date, itemised so you can cut anything you do not want. No hourly billing and no change-request games.

  3. 03

    Build Weeks 2–8

    You see working software every week, on a real URL, not a slide about progress. Anything off-course gets corrected while it is still cheap to correct.

  4. 04

    Handover Final week

    Code, accounts, documentation and a walkthrough recording, all in your name. You can keep us on support or run it yourself. Both are fine.

What you get either way

Four commitments that cost you nothing to check.

You own everything

Repositories, servers, domains and third-party accounts are registered to you from day one. There is no version of this where leaving us is difficult.

Fixed price, fixed scope

You approve a number before work starts. If we estimate badly, that is our problem to absorb, not a change request we send you.

Senior people only

The person who scoped your project writes the code. Nothing gets quietly handed to a junior after you sign.

Written down, not remembered

Decisions, trade-offs and the reasons behind them are documented as we go, so the next developer — ours or yours — is not guessing.

Working together

Three ways to start.

01

Fixed project

You know what you need built.

One scope, one price, one delivery date. Best for a defined piece of work with a clear finish line.

02

Monthly retainer

You need continuous progress.

A set number of days each month against a rolling backlog you control. Cancel with 30 days' notice.

03

Discovery sprint

You are not sure what to build yet.

Two weeks to turn a vague idea into a scoped, costed plan and a working prototype. Deducted from the build if you go ahead.

Questions

The things people actually ask.

Because we price the risk into how we work, not into our rate. Scope and price are fixed before you commit, you see working software weekly, and every account is in your name from day one — so the cost of walking away is a week, not a quarter. Start with a small first piece and judge us on it.

A small internal tool or marketing site is usually a few weeks of work. A full custom application is usually two to three months. We give you an itemised number after the brief call, before you have paid anything, and you can cut line items to reach your budget.

That is common and it is fine. We audit what exists and tell you plainly whether it is worth keeping. Sometimes the honest answer is that you do not need us.

You do, in full, including while the project is still running. Everything is committed to a repository under your account.

Send the form below with a few sentences about the problem. You get a reply within one business day and a call if it looks like a fit. The brief and its written summary cost nothing.

And if the next one were yours?

Start a project

Tell us what is not working.

A few sentences is enough. You get a reply within one business day, and the first call plus its written summary cost nothing.
