Kintek provides cutting-edge technology to companies and we also build businesses from the ground up. We created megamac.com - an Apple accessories & upgrades e-commerce store, thegrowthclinic.co.uk - a modern London-based hair loss clinic, and are now developing Cove – an advanced health company that helps people proactively optimise their health, reverse and prevent chronic illness, and live longer, happier lives.

• API Development: Develop efficient APIs for seamless front-end and back-end integration.
• App Development: Develop an iOS app for our customers.
• Payments Integration: Implement various payment systems (e.g., Stripe, PayPal).

Personal Qualities:
