The studio

We build AI systems, custom websites, and digital infrastructure for small businesses — so you can grow without hiring a tech team.

A boutique firm, founded by two engineers with production experience across Ford, Cerio, Ericsson, and Burgan Bank.

We spent years building AI systems for large companies. We started Iqan to bring that same level of engineering to the businesses that needed it most — and couldn't access it.
— Ali & Nameer Haidar, founders
