Everyone claims to be an expert. You only find out after you’ve paid.
Portfolios look alike and every quote promises the same thing. The real quality only shows months later: an app below your expectations, bugs with every release, technical debt piling up. Mistakes you can’t see at first, that end up costing you dearly, sometimes a full rewrite.
You never know who is building your product, or where it stands.
Who are they, really, and what have they built that lasts and keeps growing? There’s no way to know: a salesperson sells the project, a project manager relays, and the team writing the code changes along the way. Your questions take days to come back, and progress stays vague until the deadline.
The quote said three months. You’re at nine.
An attractive rate at first, then disappointing deliverables and endless back-and-forth. Scope drifts, estimates drift with it, and every delay pushes back your launch and your revenue: the stress builds, and the budget you planned now covers half the road. Sometimes it’s the opposite: a steep bill for work that ignores your requirements.
Building software shouldn’t feel like this.
Nativia exists to solve exactly these problems.
A demanding team with an eye for detail, its expertise proven by products people use every day. We promise quality, we charge a fair price, and we do what has to be done, the right way.
Mobile first. And everything around it.
Mobile app development is our core. But an app never lives alone: we also build the websites that go with it, the infrastructure that powers it and the AI that makes it smarter.
And because innovation is meant to be shared, we train your teams and tomorrow’s talent in software and artificial intelligence.
Websites

Gabriel Tekombo
Founder & Software Engineer
I started Nativia Solutions because I believe world-class software engineering shouldn’t be defined by geography. Before founding Nativia, I spent 8+ years building products used by millions, at BlaBlaCar, Pictet, Pictarine, and the World Health Organization. Every line of code we ship carries that same standard. When you work with Nativia, you work directly with me.
gabrielthecode.comQuestions we hear often.
If yours isn’t here, reach out. We respond to every message.
Ask a questionAsynchronously by default: Slack, Notion, Linear, Figma. For time-sensitive decisions, we schedule calls that fit your timezone. We’ve delivered fully remotely across Europe, the Middle East, and North America with zero friction.
Scoping call, technical proposal, milestone-based delivery with weekly check-ins. Projects range from 4-week MVPs to multi-month builds. Scope and timeline are always agreed upfront.
Yes, always. Every engagement starts with a signed service agreement covering scope, deliverables, payment terms, and IP transfer. NDAs are provided before any technical discussion.
You do, fully. All intellectual property transfers to you upon final payment. We retain no rights. This is explicit in every contract.
Fixed-scope for defined projects, monthly retainer for ongoing development. Rates are shared after the scoping call. Always transparent, no hidden fees.
MVP: 6–10 weeks. Full product build: 3–6 months. Legacy modernisation depends on the codebase. We give honest timelines upfront, and we keep them.
Your next product deserves better engineering.
Tell us what you’re building. We’ll tell you honestly whether we’re the right fit, and if we are, we’ll start within two weeks.
