a small studio.
built by senior operators
Raiken is a software studio based in Abuja, Nigeria. We started in 2023, led by a pair of senior operators who spent years shipping products inside startups and larger tech companies — and built a team around that experience. Clients come to us for seniority without the agency layer: the people steering the work are the same people doing it.
Three things we
don't compromise on.
Craft
We've been building software long enough to know shortcuts come back to bite. We write code we'd be happy to inherit and design systems we'd be happy to live in.
Velocity
Senior teams ship faster, not slower. We move with the speed and conviction that comes from having made the relevant mistakes already, on someone else's product.
Partnership
We work in your tools, on your repository, in your channels. We argue when we should, defer when we shouldn't, and never disappear after launch.
The people
leading the work.
Every engagement is led directly by a founder and backed by a senior team of engineers and designers. The people setting direction are the same people in the code.
Babagana Abba
Sets product direction and owns delivery across the studio. Stays close to every engagement and the team that ships it.
Abdulaziz Ali Goni
Owns architecture and engineering standards. Leads the technical team from system design through to production.
The studio team
A senior bench of engineers and designers across web, mobile, AI, and cloud — assembled around each engagement and led directly by the founders.
