The challenge
Rashid Kadura came to us for one job: add a payment gateway to his property marketplace. Before writing that, we read the code. Several teams had worked on it before us, and it showed. The app and the website weren't properly connected to the API, the server was a single EC2 machine updated by hand, and the code was too tangled to grow. Adding payments on top would have meant paying to decorate a building with a cracked foundation, so we told him that first.
What we built, in 3 phases
- Phase 1 · Oct 2024 to Jan 2025
Code audit, then a rebuild of the web platform
A written audit of the code the client inherited, walked through on a call. Then a NestJS backend with Prisma ORM on MySQL, a Next.js website and a new admin panel, migrated with every listing and photo intact, running in Docker on EC2 with CI/CD, Redis, BullMQ and Grafana.

Local payments with Tadawul
With the base stable, the payment work he first asked for: Tadawul, a Libyan payment gateway, connected to the marketplace.

- Tadawul
- Phase 3 · After payments
App audit and a new Flutter app
The client asked us to audit his mobile app too. We rebuilt it in Flutter with Firebase, push notifications, messaging, map search and in-app purchases: sellers buy yearly listing slots through Google Play or the App Store. It's live on Google Play and the App Store as بيوت ليبيا, with 10,000+ Android downloads.

- Local payments through Tadawul, Libya's own gateway
