About Us

A digital studio building products that matter

We're a team of 12+ engineers and designers in Nairobi combining technical excellence with deep business understanding — partnering with founders and enterprises across Africa since 2021.

Our story

Built by builders, for builders.

Stacknery was started by a group of engineers and designers who wanted to do client work the way they'd want it done for them — transparent, fast, and obsessed with quality. Too many good ideas were dying inside bloated agency retainers and half-finished builds.

So we built the opposite: small senior teams, weekly demos, and code you actually own. No account managers relaying messages, no surprise invoices, no black boxes.

Today we partner with startups and enterprises to launch new products, modernize existing platforms, and explore what's possible with mobile, AI and immersive technologies — from Nairobi to Lagos, Accra and beyond.

Our values

What we stand for

Outcomes over output

We measure success by revenue unlocked, hours saved and users retained — not by tickets closed. Every sprint opens with the metric we're moving.

Craft matters

Every pixel, every line of code, every interaction is intentional. We ship code we're happy to maintain three years from now.

Stay curious

We reserve time each month for R&D — AI agents, AR pipelines, offline-first sync — so you get the best of what technology can offer.

Radical clarity

Weekly demos, shared boards, honest timelines and zero jargon. You always know what's built, what's next and what it costs.

Partners, not vendors

We push back when a feature won't pay for itself, and we stay long after launch to see the product grow.

Built for Africa

Low-bandwidth performance, M-Pesa and card rails, multilingual UX — we design for how the continent actually uses software.

How we work

A process without the guesswork

01

Discovery

Workshops to map users, constraints and the commercial goal. You leave with a scoped roadmap.

02

Design

Flows, wireframes and a clickable prototype tested with real users before a line of code.

03

Build

Two-week sprints, demo every Friday, staging environment you can poke at any time.

04

Launch

Automated tests, performance budgets, store submission and analytics wired from day one.

05

Grow

Support retainers, feature iterations and quarterly health checks on speed, cost and uptime.
