We design custom software, automation, and practical AI that cut the busywork and help your team do more with less. Founder-led from the first call to long after launch, with direct access throughout.
Punica is a technology practice founded by Mir Hassan. Our roots are in artificial intelligence — building AI-powered products, automating real business workflows, and working hands-on across machine learning and applied research. We started on a straightforward belief: businesses deserve honest technical advice and software that delivers real, lasting value — not unnecessary complexity, upselling, or solutions in search of a problem.
We're deliberately lean. You work directly with the senior people doing the thinking and the building, so decisions happen quickly, context never gets lost in handoffs, and the work stays accountable from the first call to final delivery.
Whether you're adding AI to your product, automating manual work, modernizing an aging system, or building something new from scratch, the goal is always the same: technology that makes your business run measurably better.
Practical support across the full journey, from big-picture strategy to the working software your team uses every day.
We assess where you are, pinpoint where technology can create real leverage, and build a prioritized roadmap to get there, sequenced so the work pays for itself along the way rather than years down the road.
When off-the-shelf tools fall short, we design and build applications that fit how you actually work and scale cleanly as you grow.
Manual, repetitive work steadily drains time and money. We identify the bottlenecks and automate them.
Strategy only counts when it ships. We stay hands-on through delivery, helping you adopt the right tools, train your team, and turn plans into measurable results, then refine as you learn what's working.
Wherever your challenge sits, we bring hands-on engineering experience to it, along with the judgment to choose the simplest tool for the job.
Fast, reliable products and customer-facing platforms built on modern, well-supported frameworks.
Scalable, secure, cost-aware cloud setups, plus the automation to deploy and run them with confidence.
Turning scattered data into clear dashboards and reporting that leaders can actually act on.
Practical, well-scoped AI and workflow automation that removes repetitive manual work and delivers measurable results.
Connecting the tools you already use, so data flows automatically instead of being re-keyed by hand.
Purpose-built admin tools and portals that make your team's daily work measurably faster.
We built this self-contained demo to show the kind of analytics dashboards, automated workflows, and AI interfaces we design and ship. It plays automatically, zooming in to highlight the key functionality — or pick any view below.
This is a self-contained demonstration built by Punica, running on sample data — not a client deployment. It illustrates the design quality and interactivity we bring to real engagements.
A modern, well-supported stack chosen for reliability and longevity — never technology for its own sake. We pick the simplest tool that fits the problem in front of us.

EsElasticsearchNot a checklist of buzzwords — just the tools we reach for most. The right choice always depends on your problem, not the other way around.
The expertise and rigor you'd expect from a larger firm, with the focus, speed, and direct access of a lean senior team.
Every recommendation is shaped around your business and your constraints, not lifted from a one-size-fits-all playbook.
A focused, senior practice means fewer meetings, no account managers, and no handoffs — decisions are made quickly and context never gets lost between teams.
We don't just advise and leave. We stay through the build and the rollout, accountable for results — both strategy and code.
Support doesn't end at handoff. We're here to refine, optimize, and adapt as your business grows.
No mystery and no surprises, just a steady path from the first conversation to lasting results.
We examine your goals, challenges, and current setup to understand what success looks like for you.
You get a prioritized, realistic plan, grounded in practical steps, clear costs, and measurable outcomes.
We bring the plan to life with custom solutions, sharing steady, transparent progress at every stage.
We stay on after launch to refine, optimize, and help you get the most from what we built together.
Every business is at a different stage. Choose the model that matches where you are, and we'll help you find the right fit on the first call.
Ongoing technical guidance and a clear roadmap on a simple monthly retainer, giving you an experienced sounding board whenever you need one.
A defined scope, a fixed price, and a finished solution from start to finish. You know exactly what you're getting before we begin.
Experienced technical leadership embedded alongside your team for a set time each week, giving you the expertise of a CTO only when you need it.
A few questions we're often asked before a first conversation. If yours isn't covered here, send a message and we'll be glad to help.
All sizes and industries, from early-stage startups to established companies. If technology touches your business and you want it working harder for you, there's a good chance we can help.
Every engagement is led by Mir Hassan, Punica's founder, so you always have a senior point of contact. When a project calls for specialized help, we bring in trusted collaborators, but the accountability never changes.
It begins with a complimentary, no-obligation consultation. We learn about your goals and challenges, then outline a clear, prioritized plan with scope and pricing, all before you commit to anything.
Pricing depends on scope, but it's always agreed up front, with no surprise invoices. Depending on the work, that's a fixed project fee, a monthly advisory retainer, or a fractional arrangement.
That's completely normal, and often the best place to start. Part of our job is helping you find the right problem to solve before spending a dollar building anything.
Yes. We're based in Ottawa, Canada and work remotely with clients anywhere. Most collaboration happens remotely, with in-person available for local engagements.
