Meet the founder of the startup 8base - Build Amazing Digital Products 

The best way to build, run and grow professional-grade web and mobile applications that power your business.

8base (US, Delaware) ensures your development effort is 80% focused on your frontend user experience, not development of non-differentiating backend systems. 8base delivers great architecture, strong reliability and unlimited scaling.

8base is a platform that businesses can use to build fully functional enterprise-class web and mobile apps faster, better and at less expense while employing mostly front-end developers. The running and scaling of the software thereafter happen automatically.

8base enables front-end developers to build web and mobile apps using standard JavaScript, TypeScript and GraphQL.

8base is a next generation backend-as-a-service for powering SaaS and other go-to-market applications.

With 8base, devs can speedily deploy secure, stable and scalable cloud infrastructure in minutes, freeing up more time and resources for the parts that make their apps unique.

A development environment used to create software with significantly  less manual coding by professional developers -- resulting in faster  delivery, less expense and more maintainable software.

Unlike most low-code and no-code builders that focus on  internal apps, 8base enables development of digital products.
