Software development
for France.

For a French buyer comparing us against an ESN, three things should decide it: fifty-plus projects that are live and can be opened, a stack documented across seventy-nine technology pages with what we actually use each one for, and named engineers you meet before anything is signed. You interview the person who joins, and the person who joins is the person who stays.

See the work
In short

We build software for French businesses from Karachi — web applications in Laravel and Next.js, mobile apps in React Native and Flutter, e-commerce, and the AWS infrastructure under them. Also team augmentation and fractional CTO work. Eighteen people, one office, fifty-plus projects since 2016. Karachi is three hours ahead of Paris in summer.

— what this means for you

Working with us from France.

Three hours ahead of Paris in summer, four in winter. The overlap is your whole morning and into the early afternoon.

Team augmentation without the ESN markup

The common French requirement is not a project, it is engineers who join an existing team and work its hours. Eighteen people in one office, English-speaking, senior. You interview them, and the person you interview is the person who joins — the substitution that makes augmentation go wrong does not happen here.

A morning that genuinely overlaps

Karachi is three hours ahead of Paris through the summer and four in winter. Your morning stand-up is our afternoon and there is still most of a working day left on this side. It is not the same working day the Gulf gets, and we are not going to describe it as one.

Fractional CTO, when the role is not yet a hire

Technical direction for a company that needs the judgement but not the salary — architecture decisions, hiring the first engineers, deciding what to build and what to buy. It is one of the seven things we do, and it is the one that most often ends with us telling a founder their project should be smaller.

You own the code from the first commit

Repositories under your account, infrastructure in your cloud, no dependency on us to keep running. That is worth checking against any offer you are comparing, because it is a common place for the terms to be quietly worse than they sound.

— what we build

Everything, available from Karachi.

The same team and the same seven categories, whether the client is in France or next door.

— french buyers ask

Working with us from France.

English. If your team works in French day to day, the practical arrangement is a technical contact who is comfortable in English — that works well and it is how most offshore engagements run. Worth deciding early rather than assuming.

Three hours ahead of Paris in summer, four in winter. Your morning is well covered and the afternoon less so. For a team that needs someone available at 5pm Paris time, this is the wrong arrangement and we would rather say it now.

We build so that the requirements are met — data minimisation, deletion, export, consent handled properly rather than with a banner that does nothing. We are not a law firm and we do not certify anything; where you need a formal assessment, that goes to a specialist.

Cost and seniority. You get senior engineers at a rate a French ESN cannot match, and you interview the people who join rather than being assigned them. What you give up is a partner in your own timezone. If that matters more than the rate, hire locally — that is a reasonable decision and we are not going to argue you out of it.

Tell us what you are building.

We will say honestly whether we are the right people for it, and what it would take. Three hours ahead of Paris in summer, four in winter. The overlap is your whole morning and into the early afternoon.
