About IT Lab
Senior engineering, without the agency overhead
IT Lab was founded and is led by Patrick Ndimande, our CEO and a software engineer with more than eight years of experience building and modernising business systems in .NET, Angular, Flutter and the cloud.
When you work with us, you speak directly to the person building your product. We plan the work with you, agree how it will be tested, and release in small steps you can see and try. Nothing goes live until it has passed its builds, automated tests and checks against a real test environment.
- Full ownership, from API to app store
- AI-assisted delivery with strict quality checks
- Microsoft Azure and AWS experience
- Ongoing support after launch

How we work
From idea to launch in four steps
-
01
Discover
We learn how your business works, who will use the product and what success looks like, then give you a clear scope and quote.
-
02
Design
Screens, user flows and the technical plan, agreed with you before any code is written.
-
03
Build & test
Short cycles with working releases you can try. Every change passes builds, automated tests and live checks.
-
04
Launch & support
We deploy to the cloud and the app stores, monitor the system and keep improving it with you.
