What we do

Everything it takes to ship a real product.

Not just screens, the whole machine. Client, backend, payments, AI and the security that keeps it standing once real users show up.

What clients say

Founders who shipped with Aten.

A few words from the teams behind the products.

Khaled turned our concept into a live app in front of real users in weeks. He owns the whole thing, so we never had to chase three different contractors.

SW
Sarah Whitman
Founder · Marketplace startup

Rare to find someone who ships this fast and still takes security seriously. Logins, payments, notifications, all handled the right way.

JO
James Okafor
CTO · Food marketplace

The AI features just work, and the whole app felt production-grade from day one. Worth every penny.

DR
Daniel Reyes
Product Lead · Media startup

Clear scope, an honest timeline, and he delivered exactly what he promised. We've already booked him for the next build.

Who builds it

One senior engineer. Full ownership.

I'm a mobile & systems engineer who ships production apps for startups and product teams. I build the whole thing: the app your users touch, the payments and logins behind it, and the AI in between. I've taken products from a blank page to thousands of paying users, so I build for the version of your product that succeeds, not just the demo.

  • Builds MVP & production apps for clients worldwide
  • Shipped marketplaces, AI apps and consumer products to the App Store & Google Play
Pricing

Fair pricing, nothing hidden.

Every build is different, so the price is shaped around your scope, never squeezed into a rigid package. You'll always know exactly what you're paying for before any work begins.

Flexible to your project

Hourly, milestone-based, or a fixed price for a defined MVP. We pick the model that fits how you want to work, not a rigid package you have to squeeze into.

Clear from day one

A written scope and an honest estimate before any work starts. You always know exactly what you're paying for, so there are no surprises halfway through the build.

No hidden fees

The number we agree on is the number you pay. No mystery line items, no scope games, no padding tacked on at the end.

Competitive rates

MVPs from $5,000

A production-ready MVP for a fraction of what a US agency charges for the same build. Senior, end-to-end engineering, with none of the corner-cutting.

Weekly progress updates, on video

Every week you get a recorded video walkthrough of exactly what's been built, so you can track progress and always know where your project stands.

Tell me what you're building and you'll get back a clear scope and a straight price. No obligation, no pressure.

Have an idea? Let's ship it.

Tell me what you're building. You'll get a clear scope, a timeline, and a partner who's shipped this before. Fast, secure, no fluff.
