Lagos-based · Available for select projects worldwide

Backend. AI. Engineering.

Backend infrastructure, AI integration, and payment systems for startups that need it built right the first time. Production-grade. Fast. Global standards, Lagos roots.

We build systems that scale.

Keonix is a Lagos-based engineering practice founded by Francis Igbokwe — a backend engineer with 6+ years of commercial delivery spanning Nigeria, the United Kingdom, and Qatar.

We've maintained compliance-driven backend systems under GDPR for a UK travel platform, led a legacy migration for a Doha-based client, and architected cloud infrastructure for one of Africa's most ambitious AI platforms. We don't just write code — we engineer systems that hold up under real business pressure.

Built on Real Experience & Impact.

We combine product thinking and robust engineering to deliver digital systems that hold up under real business pressure — not just in demos.

Our approach is shaped by experience across three continents: maintaining and evolving compliance-driven backend services for a UK travel platform operating under GDPR, leading a legacy migration in Qatar, and architecting cloud infrastructure for one of Africa's most ambitious AI platforms.

We don't just write code. We engineer systems that scale.
