Multazam
An offline companion for Umrah: counters for the seven circuits of Tawaf and Sa‘i, a library of 305 duas each carrying its source, and three long litanies read a portion at a time.
iOS, Swift and SwiftUI

What we take on
Four kinds of work, kept short.
- 01 Mobile apps
- Native iOS in Swift and SwiftUI, from an idea to a build on the App Store. Multazam below is ours, start to finish.
- 02 Cloud consulting
- AWS architecture, migrations, and the cost conversation nobody enjoys. Route 53, Lightsail and EC2, run day to day rather than read about.
- 03 DevOps and automation
- Build and release pipelines, deploys nobody has to watch, and the monitoring that says when one went wrong.
- 04 Custom software and web
- Internal tools, small services and sites, handed over with the keys. This site is one: static files, no server, no build step.

Who you would be working with
I am Abel Bacchus. I write the code, run the infrastructure under it, and answer the email about it, which is either the appeal or the catch depending on what you need. The longer working history is on LinkedIn.
Most of what I do sits on both sides of a release: native iOS on one, AWS and deploy pipelines on the other. Multazam is the clearest example, taken from an empty project to a signed build without handing any part of it off.
How it works
You write, we answer. If the work is a fit, we agree what done looks like before anything starts, and you own everything we build.
