Our core values.
Five operating principles that shape every engagement from the first discovery call through long-tail maintenance after launch.
Uncompromising Integrity
We act with honesty, openness, and transparency. Our actions align with our words, and we hold ourselves accountable to every commitment we make to clients and to one another.
Customer Centricity
We adopt a customer-first approach in every decision — consistency, responsiveness, and a relentless focus on outcomes that matter to the operators we serve.
Results through Teamwork
We appreciate the diversity, value, and unique contributions of every stakeholder. Collective insight, debated openly and decided clearly, produces work no individual could deliver alone.
Respect and Trust
We listen to the rights, voices, and dignity of every person we work with — and ensure fair consideration of every perspective in every room.
Strive for Excellence
We drive client success through continuous innovation, transformative thinking, and a dedication to engineering work that compounds in value long after handover.
Journey so far
Incorporated in 2023, Hanova has grown from a single logistics engagement into an independent Westlands-based engineering bench delivering software, web and data systems for operators across Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and Tanzania.
Founded
Hanova Technologies is incorporated in Westlands, Nairobi. The founding engagement — a custom logistics dashboard built in six weeks — is still in production today.
Core practices established
Software engineering, web development and data analytics formalised as standalone practices. Branding, SEO and GEO added as compounding services for retained clients.
Retainers launched
Long-term maintenance and analytics retainers introduced. By Q4, recurring engagements account for the majority of monthly revenue and free the bench to do deeper builds.
Today
An independent six-person bench delivering software, web platforms and data infrastructure across Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and Tanzania — every engagement still priced as a fixed scope.
Future-ready mindset
Our external focus and data-driven decision-making capability help us remain cognizant of changes in consumer behaviour, evolving services-based business models and technology adoption.
The specialists behind the systems.
Each engagement is staffed by name, not bench depth and the same team delivers, maintains and defends every system we ship.
Harrison
Founder & C.E.O
Sets engagement architecture, scopes infrastructure and signs off every production system. Engineer by training, operator by responsibility.
Lydiah
Lead Developer
Owns the user-research, wireframes and interface systems across every build. Translates operational behaviour into interfaces clients can defend.
Daniella
Head of Digital Strategy & Audience Acquisition
Runs paid, organic and search strategy across the client portfolio. SEO, GEO, content frameworks and audience modelling for B2B pipeline.
Zephaniah
Senior Full-Stack Engineer
Builds the systems behind the systems. Next.js, Django, Postgres, AWS and every payment-rail integration that has to clear at 2am.
Nicole
Communications Lead & Content Systems Director
Designs editorial systems, CMS architecture and stakeholder communications. Turns subject-matter expertise into content the search engines reward.
Alvin
Data Infrastructure Specialist & Automation Engineer
Owns ETL pipelines, warehouse modelling and automation runbooks. SQL, dbt, Airflow and the unglamorous plumbing behind every dashboard.
Predictable on the commercials. Uncompromising on the engineering.
The contract reads like a 2010 fixed-price agreement. The architecture, the deployment pipeline and the observability stack do not.
Fixed scope, fixed budget
Every engagement begins with a free discovery call, a written technical scope and a price you can hold us to in contract.
- Discovery call within two business days
- Written scope and fixed quote in five days
- Change orders re-priced in writing, never absorbed
- Zero time-and-materials billing
Weekly demos on a live URL
Working software on a staging URL you can open from day one — not slideware, not status reports, not roadmap PDFs.
- Two-week sprints with stakeholder demo calls
- Staging URL provisioned in week one
- Performance, accessibility and 3G smoke-tested every sprint
- Critical bugs prioritised over new features
You own everything at handover
Source code, infrastructure credentials, content keys and deployment pipelines are yours from day one and yours alone at handover.
- Code committed to your GitHub or GitLab organisation
- Credentials transferred via your password manager
- Open CMS architecture no proprietary lock-in
- Optional maintenance retainer after launch, not required

FAQ
Frequently asked.
The questions operators ask most often before commissioning an engagement.
When was Hanova founded and how big is the team?+
Hanova Technologies was incorporated in 2023 and is headquartered in Westlands, Nairobi. We are a six-specialist bench today — two engineers, one technical architect, one UX designer, one data-infrastructure lead and one digital strategy lead.
Do you work with clients outside Kenya?+
Yes. The majority of our engagements are with Nairobi-based operators, but we have delivered systems for clients in Mombasa, Kisumu, Kampala, Kigali and Dar es Salaam. Quarterly on-site visits are included for engagements that justify them.
How do you price work?+
Fixed scope, fixed price — always. After a free discovery call we issue a written technical scope and a quote in five business days. Change orders are re-priced in writing. We do not bill hourly and we do not run expanding retainers.
How long do most engagements take?+
Custom software builds typically ship in six to fourteen weeks. Web platforms run four to ten weeks. Data infrastructure engagements are six to twelve weeks. SEO, GEO and content systems run as monthly retainers.
Will I own the source code, infrastructure and content?+
Without exception. Every engagement ends with code committed to your repository, credentials transferred to your password manager and content keys handed to your team. We refuse architectures that create proprietary lock-in.
Are you hiring?+
We hire when the work and the onboarding capacity exist together. Send a portfolio to info@hanovatechnologies.co.ke even when no role is publicly listed — the next addition to the bench usually comes from a quiet inbox.
