AI & Data Sprint

Design and ship a production-grade AI or analytics capability, built for reliability and predictable cost.

Deliverables

  • Working feature in your environment
  • Evaluation, monitoring and cost controls
  • Documentation and handover

Sound familiar?

Duplicated work

Several product teams are solving the same integration problem independently, and every fix is built three times.

AI in production

You want to ship an AI feature, but you don't trust it to be reliable, safe or affordable in production.

Vendor risk

A vendor is costing too much or failing too often, and the migration feels risky.

Capacity

You need proven engineering capacity to move something forward, without a full-time hire or a long ramp-up.

$ why hakira --efficiency

Experience that pays for itself.

Experienced engineers get it right the first time. Our team has decades of hands-on experience, so we don't spend your budget learning on the job, and we don't waste a single minute.

01

Experience, not ramp-up

We have built these systems before. You pay for solutions, not for discovery.

02

Fixed scope, fixed price

A written proposal with defined deliverables. No open-ended hours, no invoice surprises.

03

Zero overhead

Async-first communication and clear documentation mean fewer meetings and no lost days.

04

A right-sized team

Each engagement gets exactly the expertise it needs, and nothing it doesn't.

What we do

Four ways to work together. Each one has a defined scope, a defined outcome and a defined way of communicating.

Architecture Review

An independent, hands-on review of your cloud architecture, scalability, security and cost, with a prioritized action plan.

  • Written findings and risk map
  • Prioritized recommendations with effort estimates
  • 60-minute walkthrough with your team
Fixed price1–2 weeks

AI & Data Sprint

We design and ship a production-grade AI or data capability: ML models, tool-calling agents, pipelines and dashboards, with guardrails around reliability and cost.

  • Working feature in your environment
  • Evaluation, monitoring and cost controls
  • Documentation and handover
Fixed scope2–4 weeks

Systems Integration

We connect the systems that have to work together: third-party APIs, payment and crypto providers, devices and IoT, legacy platforms. Then we design a cleaner shared-services approach.

  • Integration inventory and failure-point analysis
  • Target architecture and migration path
  • Monitoring and observability recommendations
Fixed price2–3 weeks

Engineering Retainer

Dedicated part-time engineering capacity inside your codebase. Our team owns defined features end to end with minimal supervision.

  • Agreed monthly scope and priorities
  • Shipped, reviewed and documented work
  • Weekly written progress update
Monthly retainer3+ months

How we work

  1. 01

    Intro call

    20 minutes to understand the problem and decide together whether we're a fit.

  2. 02

    Scoped proposal

    A written proposal with deliverables, timeline and price. No open-ended hourly surprises.

  3. 03

    Async-first delivery

    Written updates, shared documents and recorded walkthroughs. Live meetings only where they add value, in agreed overlap windows.

  4. 04

    Handover

    Clean code, documentation and a walkthrough so your team owns everything we build.

  • We write code, not just slide decks.
  • Your IP, your data, your repo.
  • Strict confidentiality on every engagement.

Selected work and thinking

Client work stays confidential. Here is what we can show openly.

AI agentsTool use

An in-app AI agent that never claims an action it didn't take

An in-app AI agent, built to scale with your user base, that books, creates and changes things through your own API, with every answer checked in code against what actually happened.

  • Python
  • LangGraph
  • LangChain
  • Amazon Bedrock
  • Claude
AvailableCampaign dispatchEmail at scale

Dispatch email campaigns to millions, at a pace your domain can take

A massive campaign dispatcher, running in production in your own cloud account: it sends email campaigns to millions of recipients at a safe, steady pace, and tracks every delivery, open and bounce per recipient.

  • TypeScript
  • Amazon SES
  • ECS Fargate
  • SQS
  • AWS Lambda
AvailableConsentEmail at scale

Every send respects consent, across tens of millions of customers

A consent platform for tens of millions of customers: a preference center, a suppression list your sending can trust, and a backoffice to run both, migrated off a legacy database without losing a single opt-out.

  • TypeScript
  • NestJS
  • React
  • AWS Lambda
  • ECS Fargate

About Hakira Labs

Hakira Labs is a software engineering team working across the United States and South America. Our experience spans embedded systems, distributed infrastructure, fintech, enterprise data platforms, healthcare technology and applied AI, and we have worked with US-based organizations throughout. We are most useful where several systems have to work together and nobody owns the whole picture. We design the architecture and we write the code.

  • Architecture and hands-on delivery from the same team
  • Long track record with US-based organizations
  • Mobile, data, AI and connected-device systems in production

Larger projects are staffed with additional specialists from our network, led by the same team.

Frequently asked questions

Do you work in US time zones?

Yes, and it isn't a problem. Our team works across the US and South America, so we cover US business hours. Work is async-first, and we agree on overlap windows for any live meetings.

Can you show client case studies?

Client work is confidential, so we only publish it with written permission. We share our own product work and technical write-ups openly, and can discuss relevant experience in a private call.

Who owns the code and IP?

You do. Work product is assigned to the client under the engagement agreement.

Do you work with regulated data?

Yes. We have experience in security-conscious and regulated environments, including healthcare and finance, and we follow your data-handling requirements.

Fixed price or hourly?

Most engagements are fixed-scope or a monthly retainer with defined deliverables. Because our team has done this before, estimates are accurate and there are no surprise hours.

Is it worth paying for experienced engineers?

Yes. Experienced engineers make fewer wrong turns: accurate estimates, fewer iterations and no rework. You pay for results, at a price agreed upfront.
