Making a live-learning platform scale to spikes
A live-class platform gets hammered in unpredictable spikes — thousands of students join a stream at 7pm sharp — while also needing piracy-safe video and a consistent experience on iOS, Android and web. The screens were never the challenge; scale, streaming and cross-platform parity were.
We ran the backend on Kubernetes with horizontal autoscaling, so capacity follows the crowd and cost drops when it's quiet. For video, we built our own player in Kotlin Multiplatform — one implementation shared across iOS, Android and web — and engineered it to scale, with DRM and per-user watermarking so content stays protected. Shared code meant every feature shipped to all platforms at once instead of being rebuilt three times.
- Kubernetes with horizontal autoscaling that absorbs live-class traffic spikes and right-sizes cost
- A custom video player built once in Kotlin Multiplatform — one player for iOS, Android and web
- That player engineered to scale, with DRM and watermarking for piracy-safe streaming
- Shared-code architecture so a single feature reaches every platform together
- Integrated payments with an automated settlement-and-payout pipeline
An AI pipeline that checks its own work
AI can generate something impressive in one shot — but a single prompt gives you no guarantee it's actually correct, and it rarely matches the target precisely. The hard problem is making AI output trustworthy and repeatable at scale, not just a demo.
We built a self-healing agent loop: generate the output, actually compile and run it in a sandbox, then verify it automatically with visual diffing against the target — iterating until it clears a strict similarity bar. We ran it as decoupled services over a message queue with horizontally scalable workers, so it stays fast and reliable under load instead of falling over on a big job.
- A closed feedback loop: generate → build in a sandbox → verify → auto-iterate until it passes
- Real compilation and execution of generated output before it's ever accepted
- A decoupled microservice architecture over a message queue, with workers that scale horizontally
- Automated visual verification so quality is measured, not assumed
A premium site that still loads instantly
Clients want rich, animated, premium sites — but not at the cost of speed, hosting bills or accessibility. Beautiful and genuinely fast usually pull against each other.
We build static-first: the whole site compiles to plain HTML/CSS/JS that any host serves with no server to run or scale. We keep JavaScript tiny, gate animation behind the visitor's reduced-motion setting, and run a rigorous accessibility and mobile pass — labelled inputs, visible focus, proper touch targets, safe-area insets. Premium feel, instant load, deploys anywhere.
- A fully static build — no server to run, deployable to any host or CDN
- Rich motion that respects reduced-motion and never blocks the main thread
- An accessibility + mobile pass baked into the build, not bolted on
- Tiny shared JavaScript and self-hosted fonts to kill layout shift
Going native where cross-platform stops
Cross-platform frameworks get you 90% of the way — then calling, telephony and real device features need fragile native bridges that break on every OS update. That last 10% is where most teams get stuck.
We build the native layer properly and package it as reusable modules behind a clean, cross-platform API — native call UI, a dialpad, a messaging layer — so comms features feel first-class on both platforms without rebuilding the bridge for every project.
- Native call-UI integration that behaves like the system dialer
- Reusable dialpad and messaging modules with a simple cross-platform API
- Telephony features engineered to survive OS updates instead of breaking
Storefronts tuned to sell, not just display
Off-the-shelf commerce themes look generic and convert like it — the store ends up looking like everyone else's and never quite fits how the business actually sells.
We build custom storefronts shaped around a merchant's brand and catalogue — fast, conversion-focused, with sections designed around their real products rather than a template's assumptions.
- Bespoke, brand-first storefront themes
- Conversion-oriented layout and product presentation
- A performance-minded front end that keeps the store fast
One codebase, every platform — plus the tools around it
Shipping to iOS and Android usually means two codebases, two teams and features that quietly drift apart — and behind every product is a pile of manual internal work that never scales.
We share code across iOS and Android with Kotlin Multiplatform and Flutter so one feature pipeline lands on both stores — and we build the dashboards and automation tools that take the manual grind out of actually running the product.
- Shared-code apps across iOS and Android with native-quality results
- Internal dashboards and admin tooling to run operations
- Workflow automation that removes repetitive manual steps
