About Agrade Prestasi · Studio Brief

A Malaysian engineering studio building products for the next decade.

We are not a dev shop. We are product builders, engineers, and strategists who believe the best products come from a deep understanding of both business and technology.

Operating principles

Four non-negotiables

Doc 01 / 03

The reasons we say no to projects, the reasons clients return for a second engagement, and the reasons our engineers stay.

01

Strategy first, code second

We never write a line of code until we understand the why. Business logic drives technical decisions — never the other way around.

Average discovery phase: 2–3 weeks · Zero MVPs shipped without a validated thesis

02

Engineering as craft

Scalable, maintainable, secure. No spaghetti, no technical debt accumulated on day one to be paid back in year two.

TypeScript everywhere · Tested critical paths · Production-grade from sprint one

03

Founder mentality

We treat your product like our own. Metrics, retention, unit economics — we care about the business outcomes, not just the build.

Equity-aligned engagements · Post-launch metrics review baked into every contract

04

Human + AI hybrid

We use AI to accelerate, never to replace judgement. Senior engineers review every line of code an agent writes — that's the line we don't cross.

Claude Code · LangGraph · CrewAI in production workflows

The studio model

Two engines, one discipline

Doc 02 / 03

We run a free engineering audit and we ship the work. The first earns trust; the second is the contract. Both feed the same engineering practice.

Engine 01

Free audit & discovery

Tell us what you're trying to automate. We map your stack, surface the workflows worth touching first, and reply with a prioritised plan — no commitment, no sales call.

  • 24-hour written audit
  • Workflow + stack mapping
  • Prioritised roadmap you can act on alone

Engine 02

Build & operate

When the audit becomes a contract, we ship the agents, MCP servers, and pipelines that make it real — and we stay close enough to operate them when you need us to.

  • Agentic workflows · MCP · RAG
  • MVP through production rollout
  • Operate-or-handover at your call

Recognition · Location

The studio thesis

Malaysia's next decade of software won't be built by AI hype-shops or traditional dev houses. It will be built by hybrid teams that take both the strategy and the engineering seriously — and ship.
