Headless Architecture

High-Performance API
Development Services

We architect robust, self-documenting REST and GraphQL APIs that power Kenya's most critical business logic. Reliability, security, and scalability are baked in by default.

Backend Excellence

Building an API is more than just exposing database rows to JSON. It's about designing a contract that developer teams love to use.

We specialize in backend API development in Kenya, focusing on idempotency, rate limiting, and secure authentication (OAuth2/JWT). Our systems act as the reliable middleware between your mobile apps, web frontends, and third-party services like M-Pesa.
