What does a prototype package actually give me?

A working prototype of your product on AWS, not slides. Each package has a fixed price, a fixed scope and a timeline agreed in writing before we start.

Yes. On payment, the code and designs we build for you are yours.

Who actually does the work?

Kwena designs the architecture and reviews everything. Our founding engineer and vetted developers build alongside him, always to his standards.

Do you work with public-sector organisations?

Yes. We're CSD-registered and a Level 1 B-BBEE contributor, and we price public-sector work to published budgets. See our public sector page.

A security baseline is part of every package. Deeper work, such as penetration testing or a security review, is available on its own.

Your platform, built right and built secure, on AWS.

Q: What happens after the prototype?

You can stop there, keep us on an architecture retainer, or have us manage the full build with our vetted developers. Most products need all three stages, but you decide at each step.

Held to truth.

ANEWK designs, secures and automates the systems regulated organisations depend on. Start with a fixed-price prototype, then let us architect and manage the full build.

Security

A public water utility

After a suspected compromise, we ran the incident response and digital forensic investigation, and gave the utility a defensible answer on what happened and whether its network was safe.

Platform development

A founder-led startup

We took a founder's concept to a brand, a design system and a working app prototype, ready to show users and investors.

Where we work.

You work with the architect, not a bench of juniors.

ANEWK is led by Kwena Mokgohlwa, a senior full-stack engineer and solutions architect with more than seven years building security-critical systems in banking, fintech and mining. He designs every architecture and signs off every deliverable.
