About Kite Labs
We are a Kenyan software studio crafting dependable digital products. From strategy and design to full stack engineering, we help organisations turn ambitious ideas into products that ship and scale.
Headquartered in Nairobi, Kite Labs partners with businesses across East Africa and beyond to deliver high-impact web platforms, SaaS products, and internal tools. Our multidisciplinary crew fuses thoughtful experience design with modern engineering to build software that lasts.
Every engagement is tailored to the realities of your organisation. Whether you are launching a new product, overhauling a legacy stack, or building internal tools, Kite Labs steps in with a playbook built on real delivery experience.
We architect and launch websites and web applications that are fast, accessible, and optimised for conversion. Every build is aligned to measurable KPIs—whether that is acquiring leads, powering transactions, or supporting communities.
When off-the-shelf tools fail to capture your process, we build the missing piece. API-first architectures, secure integrations, and data-rich dashboards ensure your teams spend less time wrestling tools and more time serving customers.
Our full stack engineers manage infrastructure, backend services, and polished front-ends in one cohesive flow. Test-led development, CI/CD pipelines, and observability keep products reliable long after launch.
Discover
We map stakeholder goals, user journeys, and technical constraints. The outcome is a prioritised roadmap and architecture blueprint anchored to business value.
Design
Content strategy, UX writing, and interface design come together to create prototypes that we validate with real users before committing to code.
Build
Iterative, test-driven development delivers production-ready increments every sprint. We integrate third-party services, secure data flows, and optimise performance.
Launch & Grow
We orchestrate deployments, monitoring, and training. Post-launch, we track KPIs and iterate so your product continues delivering value as your organisation evolves.
Rooted in Kenya
We navigate regulatory requirements, linguistic nuance, and user behaviours unique to African markets—while delivering experiences that compete globally.
Design Meets Engineering
Our designers and engineers work side-by-side. Information architecture, component libraries, and code reviews happen in tandem so nothing is lost in hand-off.
Transparent Collaboration
Weekly demos, shared roadmaps, and a focus on outcomes keep stakeholders aligned. We treat every build as a partnership, not a one-off project.
Sustainable Delivery
Clean, documented code bases, automated testing, and knowledge transfers make it simple for your in-house teams to continue iterating with or without us.
Kite Labs partners with teams tackling complex challenges across industries.
Kite Labs was founded by engineers and product strategists who have delivered mission-critical infrastructure and consumer applications across Africa. We stay hands-on—writing code, reviewing architecture, and mentoring teams—because great products are built by practitioners, not spectators.
Whether you need a partner to own delivery end-to-end or a senior team to accelerate an existing roadmap, Kite Labs is ready to help. Bring us your idea, backlog, or brief—we will help you turn it into a plan, a product, and tangible results.
