Who we work with
Startup founders
Pre-seed to Series AYou need a senior team to architect and ship the MVP, or the next major feature, without burning runway hiring one in-house before you can afford it.
SaaS & software owners
Existing productYou have a product, but it is slow, buggy, or bottlenecked by technical debt. You need someone to take ownership and get you shipping again.
Businesses going digital
Custom internal softwareYou need a customer portal, internal tooling, workflow automation, or an AI feature built properly rather than assembled from parts.
Agencies & studios
White-labelYou win the client work but need a reliable senior full-stack team, white-labelled, that delivers production code without hand-holding.
One partner,whole stack
One engineering partner across the whole stack, so nothing falls between the frontend team, the backend team and whoever was supposed to own deploys.
Frontend
Component-driven interfaces that stay fast and maintainable as the product grows.
React · Next.js · TypeScript +2
Backend & APIs
Typed, tested services with auth, rate limiting and observability built in from the first commit.
Go · Node.js · Python · REST +2
Architecture
The decisions that quietly determine whether your product survives its own growth.
Multi-tenant SaaS · Microservices +2
Databases & data
Schemas, indexes and pipelines designed around the queries you will actually run.
PostgreSQL · MongoDB · Redis +3
Cloud & DevOps
Infrastructure as code, automated pipelines, and deploys that stop being an event.
AWS · CDK · Docker · Kubernetes +2
AI agents & chatbots
Assistants that do the work: agents that call your tools, answer from your data, and hand off cleanly to a human.
Agent runtimes · Chatbots · RAG +3
Automation & integrations
The manual steps between your systems, removed. Data flows between the tools your team already uses, on a schedule or on an event.
Workflow automation +4
Technical leadership
Architecture review, code review and fractional CTO support for teams that need a senior voice in the room.
Architecture review · Code review +2
Selected work
Platforms, products and internal tooling. All of it live, and all of it built to the same standard we would apply to your project.
A cohort-based learning marketplace where operators from Google, Meta, OpenAI and Anthropic teach multi-week courses, one-day workshops and free lightning lessons. Course discovery and enrolment, live scheduled delivery, instructor tooling for publishing, and a separate business tier for enterprise training.
Marketplace · Cohort scheduling · Live sessions · Payments · Enterprise tier
A maternal and child health non-profit advancing care in underserved areas of Sindh. Programme pages for pregnancy care, routine immunisation, family planning and nutrition, live impact counters, patient stories, a resource library of annual reports and research, and an online donation flow.
Donations · Impact metrics · Content library · Accessibility
Dispatch, mobile job execution and automatic invoicing for a 40-technician HVAC and plumbing operation. A live dispatch board, assisted technician assignment that states its reasoning, an offline-tolerant mobile app for work in basements and plant rooms, and invoices raised the moment a job completes. Running software you can open and use, seeded with a full working day.
Go · Next.js · PostGIS · Redis · WebSockets · Docker
A full-stack website builder for small businesses: pick a template, fill in content, launch a live site in minutes. Ships with a CMS dashboard, media manager, lead capture, page-view analytics and three customisable template styles. Running software you can open and use, with three finished demo sites.
Next.js · TypeScript · PostgreSQL · Serverless · ShadCN/UI
A multi-step agentic AI loop with real-time streaming over SSE and WebSockets, tool execution (Python sandbox, web search, URL fetching) and document Q&A: attach a PDF, Word document or text file and it answers from the contents using BM25 retrieval. Robust error recovery keeps complex multi-part tasks running autonomously across many model turns.
Go · Next.js · TypeScript · PostgreSQL · WebSockets · RAG
The data integration backbone for a unified security posture platform. Go crawlers pull from more than 20 cloud, DevOps and security APIs, normalise into a graph on Amazon Neptune, and feed risk scoring and dashboards on top.
Go · AWS Neptune · GraphQL · Gremlin · Lambda
Secure file sharing with controlled links, per-recipient view limits, time-based expiry, view-only mode, backend-proxied delivery and screenshot deterrence.
Django · DRF · Next.js · TypeScript · PostgreSQL
Short links with real-time click analytics: geographic breakdown, device and browser stats, referrer sources, QR generation and a live-updating dashboard.
Next.js · TypeScript · PostgreSQL · Edge Functions · Recharts
Where teamsget stuck
A product idea that no team has managed to turn into working software.
A previous developer left mid-project, and repairing the code now costs more than building it correctly would have.
An MVP that works in a demo and falls over the moment real users arrive.
An agency relationship where every conversation goes through an account manager instead of an engineer.
AI and LLM features on the roadmap, and no one on the project who has shipped them before.
No one owning the architecture, so every ticket gets closed and the system still drifts.
The cost ofgetting it wrong
$75k to $350k
typical range for building custom software, higher for complex systems
50 to 80%
of software projects fail outright or get rewritten
Industry estimates for custom software delivery, not Tectyra figures.
Most of these are not coding problems. They are ownership problems: architecture chosen on day one that compounds with every feature. That is the part we take on.
Technical debt slows delivery
Each new feature takes longer than the last. That is architecture compounding, and it grows more expensive to unwind the longer it runs.
Engineering shapes confidence
Missed dates and buggy demos cost you credibility with stakeholders and investors, whether or not anyone says so directly.
Security and compliance carry real risk
Many builds skip OWASP basics and proper auth until a breach or a failed review makes it everyone's problem.
Speed of shipping is competitive position
Time spent rebuilding broken code is time competitors spend launching features.
How we work
Discovery & architecture
Map goals, users and constraints, then design the system: stack, data models, API design, infrastructure and security. This is where projects quietly succeed or fail.
System design · Data modelling · Threat model
UX & technical design
Clean, conversion-aware UI built component-first, plus schemas, endpoints and auth flows, so the build is fast and predictable instead of improvised.
Component library · API contracts · Auth flows
Build
Production code in iterations. React and Next.js front ends, Go, Node.js or Python APIs, Postgres, Mongo and Redis, real-time and AI features, shipped in reviewable slices.
Iterative delivery · Code review · Typed end to end
Testing, QA & security
Edge-case handling, OWASP hardening, JWT and OAuth, performance and query tuning. Problems get caught before your users find them.
OWASP · Load testing · Query tuning
Deploy & CI/CD
Dockerised, on AWS or Vercel, with automated pipelines so every future change ships safely, including the ones made after we hand over.
Docker · GitHub Actions · IaC
Scale & maintain
Caching, indexing, monitoring and ongoing support, so the product holds up as you grow instead of buckling at the first traffic spike.
Caching · Monitoring · Support
Structured so youcan walk away
The engagement is structured so you can stop at any milestone and still own everything built up to that point.
Milestone-based delivery
You see working software at every stage. You are never paying against a black box.
You own everything
Code, repositories, infrastructure and documentation are yours from day one. No lock-in.
Delivery commitment
If we commit to a milestone and do not deliver it to the agreed spec, you do not pay for it.
Senior engineers, directly
You talk to the engineers building your system, not an account manager, and not a junior it quietly gets handed to.
A clear scope before you commit
Architecture, milestones, timeline and cost agreed up front, so you know what you are signing up for and what it costs when it changes.
Outcomes
What you get
A custom-built platform tailored to automate your most critical workflows.
A secure, scalable system designed to grow with you, without a costly rebuild as you expand.
Real-time analytics and insights for data-driven decisions.
A clean, conversion-focused product experience your users enjoy using.
A senior team owning delivery end to end, faster and sharper than assembling one yourself.
A digital asset that raises how your brand is positioned in the market.
What they said
Across 7 client reviews
Delivered what was agreed
The scope discussed at the start is the scope that shipped, working, without a list of things quietly dropped along the way to make the date.
Finished inside the timeline
Projects completed within the window set at the outset, with the state of the build visible along the way rather than reported at the end.
Who you areworking with
Ali Asghar
Founder & Principal Engineer
You talk to the engineer doing the work, not an account manager, and the build does not get quietly handed to somebody more junior.
Tectyra is led by Ali, who sets the architecture standard every build is held to and reviews the system design on each engagement.
