I build custom software for Singapore businesses: websites, web apps, mobile apps and the automation behind them, scoped in plain language.
Message me on WhatsAppWebsites & landing pages
Sites built to win enquiries: photography-led, fast, with one clear action.
Custom web apps
Booking systems, portals, dashboards and internal tools shaped to how you operate.
Mobile apps
Ordering, loyalty, field work and approvals, in your customers’ and staff’s pockets.
Automation & AI
Work you do by hand now: reading receipts, answering enquiries, reconciling records.
You message me on WhatsApp, and I write the code. There are no account managers, so decisions happen in the conversation you already started.
PROJECT 01
De Villa
An event venue at Centrium Square: weddings, nikah ceremonies and corporate events for up to 256 guests, fully halal. I designed and built the venue's site: photography-led, with packages, gallery, FAQ and a check-your-date enquiry form.

PROJECT 02
Fidyah
A meal-redemption platform I’m building for a partner organisation's programme: the whole chain from a beneficiary's scan to the programme's settled ledger, in one system that can be audited line by line.
Every redemption, claim
and settlement, recorded.
Beneficiaries check their balance by scanning a QR code. Vendors redeem meals and batch them into claims, and administrators approve, settle and disburse. OCR reads every uploaded receipt, so anything that doesn’t reconcile stops for a person to look at.
A demonstration console listing the record types Fidyah handles: balance checks, meal redemptions, vendor claims, OCR receipt checks, approvals, settlements and disbursements. The list refreshes on its own; choosing a row holds it and opens its detail.

I’ve written ≈100 pieces there since 2022, mostly guides that survey everything available on a topic, vet the syllabi and the teaching, and cut the list to the few worth taking. The job keeps me current across the tools I build with, and it’s weekly practice at explaining technical choices in plain English. Where a piece was co-written, the second author is credited by name.

FOUNDER
I’m Elham Nazif
I started Elham Labs to work with Singapore businesses directly. Since then I’ve built devilla.sg, I’m building Fidyah, and I write the Class Central guides under my own byline. After a build ships, I’m still the person you message.
Describe the problem and I answer.
A website, a booking system, an app, or work you are tired of doing by hand: one WhatsApp message starts it.
