ArcadeReality is a senior engineering studio. We design, build, and operate systems where correctness, latency, and uptime are non-negotiable — for fintech, AI, and infrastructure clients.
Full-stack product engineering from spec to launch. Sprints, design reviews, weekly demos, production hardening.
Cloud architecture, SRE practice, observability. Multi-region, multi-cloud, zero-downtime deploys, cost discipline.
ML systems — training pipelines, inference infrastructure, retrieval, evals. From notebook to prod-grade serving.
Audits, cryptography, supply chain integrity. Threat modeling, pen-testing, key management, compliance artifacts.
Strangler-fig rewrites, data migrations, runtime cutover. Zero downtime, reversible, observable at every step.
API design, SDKs, developer experience. Public or internal, versioned, documented, with first-class DX.
A pan-African creator performance marketplace where brands pay for verified outcomes and creators earn on verified views, clicks, installs, and sales.
A single platform where African creators publish, monetize, and livestream — built for local networks, languages, and payment rails from the ground up.
A universal two-sided commerce platform giving any business type — from pharmacies to hotels to gyms — its own tailored storefront, bookings, and loyalty tools.
Microservices are the default advice. For infrastructure-constrained markets, a disciplined modular monolith often ships faster and runs cheaper — without giving up module boundaries.
Sharing business logic between iOS and Android without sacrificing a native feel is possible — if you draw the line between shared and platform-specific code in the right place.
A pharmacy and a hotel need the same booking primitive and almost nothing else in common. Here's how we let a business's type reshape the product without a fork in the codebase.
Card rails are the default assumption in most payment integrations. Across the markets MakersMark serves, cards are the exception — and that changes the architecture, not just the checkout screen.
Every social platform reports performance data differently — and changes its API without asking. Here's the adapter pattern that keeps Astera's verification engine from breaking every time one of them does.
Fixed-fee delivery only works if the fee is based on something real. That's what the scoping sprint is for, before either side commits to the build.
Two-week scoping sprint, fixed-fee. You get a system design, risk register, and a staffing plan. If we proceed, the scoping fee applies to the engagement.
