Selected Work
Products under Xiaoyao Systems, built in Cape Town — each with its own craft, shared standards of clarity and care.
Our WorkEducation / Mathematics
A mathematics learning platform designed around mastery. Axioms breaks mathematics into concepts, methods and representative practice so learners can build genuine understanding rather than simply complete more exercises.
Social / Games
A social location-guessing game where people share photos with friends and compete to guess where each photo was taken.
Build with us
We work with founders and businesses in Cape Town and across South Africa to turn ideas into useful, working products. From focused proofs of concept to launchable MVPs, we help determine what needs to be built, reduce unnecessary scope, and engineer the first version properly.
The same care applies to custom software and business automation. See all services.
