agentic_engineering
Senior engineers. Amplified by agents.
You define the outcome. Every engineer on your project works with a fleet of AI agents across frontend, backend, QA, delivery and review, so tests, reviews and boilerplate happen in parallel and the team spends its time on the hard parts. A human reviews every change before it merges.

faq
The questions you're already asking.
Anything else? Ask on the call — we reply with useful questions, not a sales sequence.
What kind of projects do you work on?
Web platforms, mobile apps and applied AI — from a new product built from zero, to adding automation on top of something you already run. Our sweet spot is fintech, crypto and AI products where correctness matters.
How do I get started?
Book a 30-minute call or send a short brief below. We'll reply with clarifying questions, not a sales pitch, and can usually scope the first steps within a few days.
How much does a project cost?
It depends on scope, timeline and complexity. After the scoping call you get a clear written quote before any work starts — no surprise invoices.
How does working across time zones go?
We're in Kathmandu (UTC+5:45). That overlaps the full EU workday and US early mornings and evenings. We reply within 24 hours and demo progress every week.
Who owns the code and IP?
You do. Work happens in your repositories from day one, and everything we build is yours. Happy to sign an NDA before you share details.
Can you work with our existing team or codebase?
Yes. We regularly plug into existing repos, tech stacks and in-house teams, and work alongside your engineers rather than replacing them.
Do you offer support after launch?
Yes. We can hand everything over for your team to own, stay on for ongoing maintenance and features, or somewhere in between — whatever fits how you work.
