Code Khalaq team

About Code Khalaq

Code Khalaq is a custom software development company founded in 2020 and based in Lahore, Pakistan, working with clients across the US, UK and Pakistan. We build healthcare platforms, MVPs, ERP and CRM systems, and AI products for startups, SMEs and larger organisations, and we make Pulse, an AI receptionist for medical and dental practices.

A software agency that ships and then keeps running what it ships.

Code Khalaq started in 2020 in Lahore as a small engineering team taking on the projects larger vendors would not touch: legacy pharmacy systems that needed modern integrations, telemedicine platforms that had to scale, and internal tools that had outgrown their spreadsheets. Since then we have grown into a full-service agency covering product advisory, engineering, data and AI, and long-term support, with most of our clients in the US and UK and a US office in Austin, Texas planned.

Healthcare is where we have done our deepest work. We have built and operated telemedicine infrastructure, pharmacy and EHR-connected systems, and patient-facing platforms for clients such as LifeRx.md, MedLife, HealthBridge Medical and PharmaCare Solutions. That experience is why we productised Pulse, an AI receptionist that answers patient calls, books into the practice management system, and hands anything clinical to staff.

Outside healthcare we work with founders launching an MVP, SMEs replacing manual operations with custom ERP and CRM systems, and companies adding AI to an existing product. Every engagement follows the same path: understand the problem properly, build the smallest thing that proves it, then scale what works. You can see how that has played out in our case studies.

Our Mission
Our Vision

Small senior teams, fixed scopes, honest estimates

Most of our projects run with a small team of senior engineers, a product lead, and a designer, rather than a large rotating bench. That keeps context in the heads of the people doing the work, and it is why clients tend to stay with us after launch for support, audits, and the next phase.

We offer three ways to engage: fixed-price projects when the scope is clear, team extension when you need engineers embedded with your own team, and an offshore partner model for companies that want a standing team in Lahore with overlap on US and UK working hours. Before any of those start, a discovery workshop or technical feasibility study tells you what the build will actually involve and cost.

Code Khalaq is led by its founder, Umer Farooq, who still works directly on architecture and client delivery and writes the practice-management guides published under Pulse. Security and compliance are treated as engineering requirements rather than checkboxes: our healthcare work follows HIPAA safeguards with signed business associate agreements, and our general engineering follows OWASP guidance.

Our Core Values

01

Precision Over Promise

We would rather give you a smaller, accurate estimate than a large, optimistic one. Scope is written down, progress is visible weekly, and if something changes you hear about it before it costs you money.

02

Transparent Collaboration

You have direct access to the engineers building your product, not just an account manager. Repositories, boards, and staging environments are shared from day one, so there is never a version of the truth you cannot see.

03

Talent with Ownership

Every engineer on a project owns an outcome, not a ticket queue. That is why we keep teams small and senior, and why the people who build a system are the same people who support it after launch.
