East Africa · Since 2015
Built in Africa.
Built for the World.
We build software for the places where "it went down" is not an acceptable answer. Central banks, defence forces, refugee case management systems, payment networks. The unglamorous, load-tested, formally-verified work of making African institutions not depend on infrastructure built for someone else's problems.
What We Build
Sixteen products. Ten domains. All built in Africa.
Security Ops
MeGuard
AI-powered SaaS for Private Security Companies. GPS attendance, smart dispatch, ARC alarm monitoring, M-Pesa payroll, ONVIF CCTV, cross-PSC marketplace. Covers KE, UG, TZ.

What We Stand For
The principles behind every line of code.
African-First
Built for M-Pesa, MTN MoMo, EAC corridors, PSRA compliance, CBK regulations, and 12 African languages. Not ported from a Western product — designed here, for here, with local regulatory expertise baked in.
Enterprise-Grade
Post-quantum cryptography, formal TLA+ specifications, 25,000+ CI tests, mutation testing, property-based testing. Infrastructure that governments, banks, and peacekeeping forces trust with critical operations.
Open Foundations
AppGen-X, APG, Hyperion-EMV, and Dada Salama are fully open source. We build in public, share our work, and give back — including Dada Salama, our free contribution to GBV survivors across East Africa.
Open Source
We Build in Public
