Technical partnership studio for founders & agencies
You own the vision. We own the engineering
AI is reshaping software every few months. Running your business and keeping your product ahead are now two full-time jobs. Keep the first. Hand us the second.
We've built AI into live products like Agents247 and PropHunt, so we know what's worth building and what's hype. Our senior engineers design, build and run your product, and stay accountable long after launch.

Katib
Fintech · Web & mobile
Private loan records with gold, silver and currency references, installment schedules and two-party approval. Web and mobile, in English and Arabic.
- Challenge
- Loans between people are usually informal: amounts, asset values, and repayments live in chats and memory, and disputes follow.
- Our role
- Designed and built the product end to end: gold, silver, and currency-backed loan records, automatic installment schedules, two-party approval, and payment proof uploads.
- Outcome
- Live at katib.app on web and mobile, in English and Arabic, with overdue detection, counterparty confirmation, and a free-forever plan.
Agents247
AI customer support · SaaS
An embeddable AI chat widget that answers from a knowledge base, captures leads and hands off to humans. One script tag, Arabic and English.
- Challenge
- Small businesses lose website visitors who leave without asking, especially outside working hours and when they prefer Arabic.
- Our role
- Designed and built the SaaS: an embeddable AI chat widget answering from a knowledge base, lead capture, human handoff, analytics, and tiered billing.
- Outcome
- Live at agents247.app: installs with one script tag, supports Arabic and English with RTL, and runs on free, starter, and pro plans.
PkgTrace
Developer security
Grades the maintenance health of open-source dependencies from A to F, with team portfolios, bulk scans, webhooks and API tokens for CI.
- Challenge
- Teams depend on hundreds of open-source packages without knowing which are poorly maintained or caught up in supply-chain incidents.
- Our role
- Designed and built the platform: repository and dependency-file scanning, maintainer responsiveness and issue-resolution scoring, supply-chain incident checks, and team portfolios.
- Outcome
- Live at pkgtrace.com: a risk dashboard with project portfolios, bulk scans, webhooks and API tokens for CI, subscriptions, and English and Arabic interfaces.
PropHunt
PropTech · AI · Mobile
Renters describe the home once, in English or Arabic. New matches arrive by WhatsApp and email, each with a plain-language reason.
- Challenge
- Dubai renters repeat the same search across listing sites every day and still miss the right home.
- Our role
- Designed and built the service: natural-language search briefs in English and Arabic, listing matching with plain-language reasons, WhatsApp and email alerts, and Android and iOS apps.
- Outcome
- A renter describes the home once and receives new matches automatically. Listing sources are only ingested with recorded permission.
Shantaa
Logistics marketplace · Mobile
A marketplace for trips, shipments and bids with escrow payments, plus an agency operating system. iOS, Android, web and dashboards on one backend.
- Challenge
- Sending packages across the Gulf–Africa–Asia corridor is slow and costly, while travellers and travel agencies have unused luggage capacity.
- Our role
- Designed and built the platform: a marketplace for trips, shipments, and bids with escrow payments, plus an agency operating system with CRM, invoicing, visa processing, and bookings.
- Outcome
- Live at shantaa.app with iOS and Android apps, a public website, and admin and agency dashboards on one backend.
Arbab Fashion
Fashion retail · Arabic-first
An editorial, Arabic-first storefront where customers browse complete looks and send a ready-made order through WhatsApp.
- Challenge
- A Sudanese fashion brand needed a premium Arabic storefront where customers can browse complete looks and order the way they already buy: through WhatsApp.
- Our role
- Designed and built the storefront: an editorial Arabic-first design, look catalogue with search, colour and size selection, image zoom, and a checkout that prepares a complete WhatsApp order.
- Outcome
- A fast, dependency-free storefront with the brand film, occasion looks, and a guided order flow, deployed automatically on every change.
Trendpfy
E-commerce marketplace · formerly Nashtari
A bilingual multi-vendor electronics marketplace with vendor storefronts, per-vendor commissions, and AED and SDG pricing for the UAE and Sudan.
- Challenge
- Electronics sellers in the region needed one bilingual marketplace that handles many vendors, two currencies, and cash on delivery.
- Our role
- Designed and built the full platform: vendor onboarding and storefronts, per-vendor commissions, catalog, cart and coupons, order lifecycle, and admin analytics.
- Outcome
- Live as Trendpfy (formerly Nashtari) in English and Arabic, selling in the UAE and Sudan with AED and SDG pricing, top vendors, open-box deals, and per-item tracking for multi-vendor orders.
Who you'll work with
The people who'll own your product.
You talk to the engineers who build it, not a sales team. The same people stay on your product after launch.

Adam Ahmed on LinkedInUnder the hood · Shantaa
One backend. Five front doors.
Shantaa's iOS and Android apps, public website, and admin and agency dashboards all run on one backend, so trips, shipments, bids and escrow payments follow the same rules everywhere.
We draw this before we build. Every project starts with a written architecture: data model, integrations and scaling risks, and you keep the document.
