A Palo Alto based software engineering firm helping startups and enterprises build, scale, and secure the systems that run their business. Since 2011.
Datamart is the Palo Alto engineering team that startups call when they need to build AI products and secure them. Most agencies do one or the other. We do both, under one roof, with the same engineers who shipped to production yesterday.
Founded in 2011. Operating from Palo Alto, California with delivery teams in Pakistan and a secondary office in Viernheim, Germany. Over 15 years of building software for companies ranging from Series A startups to Fortune 500 enterprises.
Our founder and CEO, Muhammad Asif, was named Young Business Leader of the Year 2024 at the Forttuna Global Excellence Awards in Dubai, and is listed in the Forttuna PowerList 100.
Dedicated, embedded engineering capacity for SaaS companies that need to move faster than their internal hiring pipeline allows. Pakistan based, US managed, transparent pricing.
