About Punica
Mir Hassan
Founder & Principal Consultant
A technical partner genuinely invested in your outcome.
Punica is a technology practice founded by Mir Hassan, with roots in artificial intelligence: building AI products, automating real workflows, and working across machine learning and applied research. We started on a simple belief. Businesses deserve honest technical advice and software that delivers lasting value, not 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.

- You get one direct point of contact throughout.
- Progress is shared in plain language, on a steady cadence.
- You own everything we build, including the code and the accounts.

Lean, fast, and direct
A focused, senior practice means fewer meetings, no account managers, and no handoffs. Decisions happen quickly and context never gets lost between teams.
Strategy plus delivery
We don't just advise and leave. We stay through the build and the rollout, accountable for results in both strategy and code.

FAQ
Questions, answered
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 new 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 free consultation. We learn about your goals and challenges, then outline a clear, prioritized plan with scope and pricing, 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, with the option to meet in person for local engagements.
