A small studio, built for teams who don't have time to wait on a big one.
code5x is led by Kapila Narang, a full-stack engineer with over a decade of experience building applications, websites, and the infrastructure behind them, alongside Komal Lal, a React Native developer who has shipped production mobile apps on both Android and iOS, and Chirag Agrawal, a senior software engineer focused on cloud-native systems, data pipelines, and scalable backend architecture. The studio started from a simple frustration: most software gets built slower than it needs to, by teams that are one layer removed from the people actually writing the code. Staying small means every project is scoped and built by the same people you talk to.
How we operate.
Ship, then polish
We'd rather get something real in front of users early than perfect something no one has tested yet.
Senior hands on every build
No project gets handed off to whoever's free. The people who scope your build are the people who write the code.
Plain-language updates
You'll always know what's shipped, what's blocked, and what's next — no status decks required.
Code you can walk away with
Clean repos, real documentation, no vendor lock-in. It's your product; we're just building it with you.
A small, senior team.
Three people covering full-stack web, mobile, and cloud/backend systems end to end, backed by trusted specialists when a project calls for extra hands.
