How we work - Opinions we hold about AI work
We use AI every day. That is exactly why we don't oversell it.
- Fewer features, more finished. One agent that saves ten hours a week beats five that almost work. We cut scope before we write code.
- AI output gets checked. AI makes good engineers faster and exposes weak fundamentals. We review what the model writes the same way we review a junior developer's pull request.
- Plain answers. If a spreadsheet and a Zapier step will fix your problem, we will say so on the first call.
The founder - Meet Nasir
Self-taught at 14. Paid for it the same year. Still writing the code.
I taught myself to code at 14 and landed my first big contract that same year. I also worked as a success coach in Clever Programmer's Profit with JavaScript program, helping students through JavaScript and React.
In 2021 I led a team of up to five developers at Neru Lending, building a business credit platform in Django with React Native apps on Google Play and the App Store. That December I founded DevThinks. On Fiverr we delivered 100+ orders and I mentored 100+ developers in React.
Then came Web3 and SaaS work: search and MoonPay onboarding for SURE-RT, smart contract dashboards for DTrust, and the payment pipeline at Poppy AI. Lokkna, SURE-RT, and most of Poppy AI shipped before AI coding agents existed.
Later projects included TradingView charts and swaps for DIROL on Monad, and taking Mission 22's AI-built prototype to production. I cofounded Calynta, an AI advisor for founders, and DevThinks runs on its own agents and second brain. The AI work sits on top of everything that came before it.
Our work - Where the credibility comes from
Real users, real payments, and on-chain transactions.
- Mission 22, veteran ambassador platform. Took an AI-assisted prototype to production with real-time messaging, events, moderation, and Airtable sync.
- Poppy AI, visual AI workspace. Payment pipeline for 1,000+ subscriptions across ThriveCart, Stripe, and PayPal, plus React Flow performance work.
- DIROL, DEX on Monad. TradingView charting integration, swap features, and backend and UI work.
- Neru Lending, business credit. Led up to five developers on a Django platform with React Native apps on both app stores.
- SURE-RT, Web3 sports marketplace. Search, score charts, a React admin app for live bets, and MoonPay onboarding.
- Lokkna, barter marketplace. Full-stack trading platform in Next.js and Django.
