A lean studio. A fleet of AI agents.
The Journey
12+ years building software products across fintech, logistics, e-commerce, and developer tools. From founding a startup acquired by Sky.Garden to speaking at TEDx, I've spent my career turning complex ideas into products people rely on. Today, we run 3-8 AI agent instances on every project, orchestrating autonomous builders the way a CTO manages a team. The result: 20x output from a lean studio.
The Origin
His third name is Gakaara. In Kikuyu, it means builder. It is also his father's name.
When it came time to name the consultancy, he didn't reach for something clever. He took the heart of Gakaara and called it Kaara Works. Not a brand. His father's meaning on a foundation.
That's the whole story, really. Some people build because it's a career. Isaac builds because it's in the name.
The 20x Thesis
The best startups today aren't hiring armies. They're automating everything: code, support, marketing, sales, QA. Each employee becomes orders of magnitude more powerful. A 12-person company closing Fortune 500 deals. A healthcare startup 4x-ing revenue without hiring a single person. This is the new way to build.
Kaara.Works exists to make this accessible. We don't just use AI to write code faster. We orchestrate autonomous AI agents the same way the most advanced AI labs build their own products: managing 3-8 agent instances in parallel, each one implementing features, fixing bugs, or researching solutions. The result is enterprise-grade output from a lean team.
What We Build
Custom platforms with AI agents baked in. Internal automation systems that let a 3-person team do the work of 30. Products architected so your leanness becomes your superpower, not a constraint. TypeScript, Next.js, Node.js, PostgreSQL. Battle-tested tools, deployed through a fundamentally different process.
Values
Radical Transparency
You see the agents working. You see the code. You see the process. No black boxes.
Full Ownership
Your code, your agents, your IP. No vendor lock-in. We hand over everything.
Compounding Returns
Every automation we build makes the next one faster. Your platform gets better over time, not just bigger.
Leanness Over Headcount
We'd rather build you a system that eliminates the need for 10 hires than staff up a team of 10.
