## Why 20Hypes exists

Plenty of companies can supply developers. Far fewer will take a requirement, work out what it actually needs, build it properly, and stay accountable for the result. That gap is why 20Hypes exists.

We work with agencies that need a technology partner behind the scenes, and with businesses that need a product built or an existing one improved. In both cases the engagement is about delivery: you describe the problem, we own the technology.

We are deliberately clear about our size. 20Hypes is a small, senior studio that grows its delivery team as projects require. You will always know who is building your software.

## Capabilities

- Web Applications
- Mobile Apps
- AI Engineering
- Backend & APIs
- Cloud Infrastructure
- Automation

Typical stack: TypeScript, React, Next.js, React Native, Flutter, Node.js, Python, PostgreSQL, and AWS.

## Engineering principles

- **Scope before code** — We would rather spend an extra day agreeing on what we are building than three weeks building the wrong thing.
- **Boring technology, deliberately** — We choose tools for how well they hold up in production and how easily another engineer can pick them up later.
- **Built to be handed over** — Documentation, readable code, and sensible architecture, so you are never dependent on a single person to continue.
- **AI where it earns its place** — We apply AI to specific problems with measurable value, not as a feature to advertise.

## Founder: Awais Ahmad

20Hypes was founded by Awais Ahmad, a software engineer with extensive experience building software platforms, APIs, AI systems, and cloud infrastructure.

That experience covers an AI document processing platform handling more than a million file transactions a month, an AI-driven code engine that generates applications from structured requirements, AI-assisted recruitment technology, and cross-platform mobile development — the kind of work where correctness and reliability matter more than novelty.

Every engagement starts with a direct conversation with the founder, so technical decisions are discussed with the person responsible for them.

## Where this is going

- **Now — Founder-led studio**: Projects are led and delivered directly by the founder, with trusted senior engineers brought in where a project needs additional capacity.
- **Next — Small delivery team**: A project lead plus a focused engineering team, so several projects can run in parallel without diluting quality.
- **Later — Established technology studio**: Technical leads and internal engineering teams delivering larger, longer-running programmes of work.
