A small studio in Istanbul, Türkiye, building customer surfaces and operator-facing admins against the same database — and staying close enough to every project that the handover actually holds.
Majed co-founded Kagu and keeps a foot in both worlds: he builds the products, and he handles the talking. He writes full-stack code in Next.js, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL, and he’s the one who sits down with clients in Arabic, Turkish or English to work out what they actually need. Software Engineering student at Bahçeşehir University, and the person who makes sure nothing gets lost in translation.
Parsa co-founded Kagu and handles the execution: he manages the projects, and he leads the tech. As Head of Tech, he builds out the architecture and keeps the workflow moving, making sure the team's ideas actually ship. A Software Engineering student at Bahçeşehir University who has been working in the industry since 2024, Parsa is the one who takes complex problems and turns them into software that genuinely makes people's lives easier.
Kemal Can is a Senior Associate at Kagu, working across design, build, and security to help the team ship a product that's both solid and safe. His main focus is security: he probes for weaknesses, hardens systems, and runs regular audits to make sure what the team builds can hold up under real-world pressure. A 3rd-year Software Engineering student at Bahçeşehir University, he brings a sharp, security-first mindset to everything he touches at Kagu.
Sait ensures the reliability, performance, and flawless execution of our digital products. Moving beyond the initial build, he channels his deep understanding of software design and development into rigorous Quality Assurance and testing strategies. Sait systematically breaks down complex applications to find edge cases, guarantee seamless user experiences, and ensure that every release meets the highest production standards.

Kagu builds Next.js + Supabase platforms for boutique operators in hospitality, tourism, and services. Small team. Real production work. No agency theatre.
We work in hospitality and operator-facing software, verticals where the test of a system is whether the team uses it on Friday night, not whether it photographs well on Monday morning.
We build a customer-facing surface and an operator-facing admin against the same database. Production goes live in weeks, not quarters. The handover is the moment we stop being needed, and the moment Kagu is most useful.
Kagu works by listening to what a boutique operator is trying to make easier, mapping the smallest system that solves it, and shipping it to production in weeks. The principles below are how that plays out day to day.
If it doesn't survive a Friday-night shift, it's not done. Polish is for what the staff actually see every day.
Not a kickoff deck. Not a Figma file. The thing live, on a real domain, with real users: that's the unit of progress.
We stay in hospitality, tourism, and operator tools. The fifth restaurant menu is faster, and better, than the first.
One throat to choke. No account managers. The people writing the code are the people in the meetings.
