Inside Creiden

15 years building custom software

A team of engineers, designers, and product leads who've shipped 400+ projects across 15+ countries for clients who needed a long-term partner, not a vendor.

Our story

Two Engineers, One Standard

Creiden began in a small co-working office over fifteen years ago, with two engineers who'd watched too many promising products stall in handoff. Amr and Bassam started Creiden on a simple bet: that clients would choose a partner who shipped honestly over one who pitched loudly.

That bet has held. What began as a duo writing code for SMEs has grown into a multi-disciplinary team delivering web, mobile, AI, e-learning, e-commerce, and embedded engineering pods. Creiden has shipped 400+ projects across 15+ countries, serving early-stage founders, established product teams, and government agencies that can't afford a misstep.

Fifteen years in, the principle hasn't changed. Be useful, be precise, be trustworthy. The team is bigger; the bar is the same.

What we believe

Five principles that shape every project

Trustworthiness

We ship what we said we would ship, on the date we said we would ship it. When something changes, we surface it early. Every project is fully documented; so clients always own their work, with no dependency on us to understand it.

Flexibility

We adapt to projects of any size, from a single-page site to a multi-year government platform. The process scales to fit the engagement. The standards never do.

Growth

Most of our clients are still working with Creiden years after their first project. Creiden has grown through repeat engagements and referrals. When the work holds up, the relationship does too.

Client-Centric Approach

Your outcomes lead, not our preferences. The scope, the process, the timeline; all of it is shaped around the decisions your team has to live with. We carry the brief; we do not set the agenda.

Engineering Discipline

New tools get evaluated on whether they belong in production, not whether they are trending. We build on infrastructure we trust, integrate AI where it genuinely solves a problem, and resist anything that sounds good in a slide but breaks in year two.

How we work

A clear path from idea to launch

Five phases. Same shape whether the engagement is six weeks or eighteen months — so you always know the status, the next decision point, and what's coming.

Discovery

Stakeholder interviews, audit, and a scoped plan you can sign off on.

Design

Architecture, UX, and data model — reviewed weekly, no late surprises.

Build

Two-week sprints with working demos. Visible progress, not slideware.

Launch

Hardening, observability, and a release we both stand behind.

Support

SLAs, monitoring, and a team on call after go-live.

Leadership

The cofounders behind Creiden

Amr Kosba

Cofounder & CEO · Creiden

Amr co-founded Creiden straight out of university. His degree in engineering and an MBA in marketing sit behind every scoping decision he makes: he thinks about business outcomes first and technical specs second. That combination is why Creiden's projects stay on budget and on brief.

Creiden started as a WordPress agency. Amr built it into a software house that works across web, mobile, AI, e-learning, and e-commerce. UI and UX is the lens he applies to every product Creiden ships.

He is also the main reason clients keep coming back. Long partnerships are built on being straightforward: clear timelines, honest conversations when scope shifts, and full documentation that clients actually own. Amr treats transparency as a working method, not a statement.

Bassam Tarek

Cofounder · Creiden

Bassam co-founded Creiden alongside Amr, bringing the same engineering degree and marketing MBA to a different part of the business. He drove Creiden's technical expansion during the company's growth years, pushing the team into new stacks and taking on projects that required real stretch.

He is the kind of person who opens doors. New partnerships, new client relationships, and new markets have come largely through him. His energy and his willingness to commit before the path is fully clear accelerated a lot of what Creiden became in its first decade.

That same drive led him to co-found Stacks, an AI-powered mobile platform builder. Running a product company keeps him close to what founders actually need when building from scratch, and that perspective feeds directly back into Creiden.
