Who we are

A software team you can hire by the month, not by the hour.

Antdragon is a senior team for founders, business owners, and product leaders who want real software progress every month without running a full in-house tech team. We work inside your existing code, handle the delivery, and send you a short written update every Monday.

Why I started Antdragon.

I started Antdragon because I believe good software should actually be used, not just built.

A lot of teams already have ideas, budget, and urgency. What they are missing is not always talent. Sometimes they are missing the right rhythm, the right ownership, and the right follow-through.

In startups, speed matters. But speed is not just about writing code fast. It is about learning fast, releasing fast, and improving based on what real users actually do.

In established businesses, the best systems are the ones people really use every day. That only happens when the software fits real workflows and keeps improving over time.

That is how we work at Antdragon.

We plug into your repo, keep the work moving every week, write important decisions down, and help you stay in control without getting dragged into unnecessary tech mess.

If you want software that keeps moving and actually gets used, let's talk.

What we have delivered

Five years as Antdragon, built on ten years of real software work behind the founder.

Antdragon was founded in 2020. The people behind it have been building live software for much longer, across many technology changes and many team shifts. We are telling you this so you know what you are hiring: a team that has learned the habits you want in a long-term delivery partner.

10+
years building live software

We have built and supported live systems across many technology generations. We keep older systems running when that is what the business needs.

42+
products delivered

Across 7 industries: government, large enterprise, property, financial services, hospitality, e-commerce, and AI or data.

4
large-scale national systems

A central-bank mobile app, a national innovation programme with 30,000 plus members, a clinical research registry used across every public hospital, and a regional development authority's site and app.

3
countries beyond Malaysia

A Thailand hospitality group, a five-star hotel in Hangzhou, and a vehicle services app in the UAE. All delivered remotely from Kuala Lumpur, with local working hours respected.

30+
technologies used in live projects

We use the right tool for the job. Our team has worked across many languages and systems, so we can work inside what you already have rather than force a rebuild.

5+
years as Antdragon

Founded in 2020. The weekly update goes out every Monday, even in weeks when not much shipped. Especially in those weeks.

Mission & vision
Plate 01 · Weekly schedule

A steady weekly schedule.

Each ring is a Monday. Each dot is a live release. Weekends stay weekends.

Mission

Build software people actually use.

A lot of software gets built and then sits unused. Our job is the opposite. We aim for steady progress every week, real adoption by real users, and systems your business keeps using long after launch.

Vision

Progress without chaos.

To be the trusted monthly software partner for businesses that want real progress without the drama. No crunch weeks, no surprise invoices, no yearly team shake-ups.

What we believe in

Four things we believe about good work.

These beliefs show up in how we plan the week, how we write the weekly update, and how we decide what is worth building and what is not.

Feedback

Real users tell you more than a plan.

We would rather release something useful and learn from real use than spend months polishing in private. Software gets better when people are actually using it.

Clear decisions

Clear decisions keep work moving.

Software slows down when no one can make a decision. We work best when there is one person on your side who can approve priorities each week.

Clarity

Clarity saves time.

Clear priorities, clear decisions, and clear updates help everyone move faster. Things that are vague cost more than things that are hard.

Ownership

We own the outcome, not just the code.

Our job is not just writing code. We take responsibility for moving the work forward, including telling you when something is stuck and why.

Four things we say plainly

  1. Releasing is the start. Real use is the proof.

  2. Written decisions last. Spoken ones fade by Friday.

  3. Simple systems keep working. Over-clever ones break at the worst time.

  4. Trust is earned week by week, not in a yearly review.

How we show up

The work matters. How we work with you matters just as much.

Three words describe how we run every project. These are the same things our clients usually say when they describe working with us to other people.

Focused

One main thing at a time.

We keep the work focused so real progress happens every week, instead of many half-finished things.

Open

You hear early, not late.

A written update every Monday, an early heads-up if something slips, and a simple record of decisions. No end-of-week surprises.

Action first

Moving every week, not talking in circles.

We pick the smallest useful version and start. Most discussions happen around real work, not long meetings.

For this to work well, we need one person on your side who can approve priorities each week.

The stackNo vendor lock-in

We can work with your current stack.

If you already have a system, we work inside it and improve the way delivery happens. If you are starting fresh, we recommend a practical modern stack that is maintainable for the long run, boring tools picked because they keep shipping.

  1. TypeScript

    Language

    One type system across web, mobile, and API.

  2. React

    UI

    Ten years of hiring pool. Still the safest bet.

  3. Tailwind

    Styling

    Style decisions stay in the markup. PRs read cleanly.

  4. Vite

    Bundler

    Dev server that starts in a second, not a minute.

  5. Node.js

    Runtime

    Boring. Portable. Every cloud supports it.

  6. Bun

    Tooling

    Fast installs and scripts without leaving TypeScript.

  7. Postgres

    Database

    Rows, relations, and thirty years of battle testing.

  8. Docker

    Runtime shell

    Same container runs on your laptop, staging, and prod.

What clients say

What clients say in verified reviews.

I have been working with the team behind Antdragon for a few months now and I can honestly say it has been one of the most pleasant surprises; they own the weekly delivery, we just approve priorities and direction.
