What we build
We built Codex Labs because too many good software ideas die between the napkin sketch and the shipped product. Agencies overpromise. Freelancers disappear. The handoff is always broken.
Our model is different. We take fewer clients, go deeper on each engagement, and stay involved after launch. We run two-week sprints, show working software at every demo, and bill by milestone, not by the hour on a blank check.
Design strategy is Codex Digital. Product photography is Codex Studios. We take the brief and build the thing.
Web Applications
Custom web apps, SaaS platforms, internal tools, and dashboards. React, Next.js, Node.js, built for real users and real scale.
Mobile Apps
iOS and Android applications via React Native and Expo. Single codebase, native performance, App Store ready.
APIs and Infrastructure
RESTful and GraphQL APIs, serverless functions, database architecture, and cloud deployment on AWS and Vercel.
Software Products
Proprietary software incubated internally: fintech tools and productivity software built and operated by Labs.

Codex Labs operates from the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the xwmethkweyem (Musqueam), Skhwx-wu7mesh (Squamish), and selilwetael (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. We are grateful for the privilege of working on this land, and we honour the communities whose histories, cultures, and traditions continue to strengthen our city.
"We are guests on this land. We proceed with gratitude, humility, and respect."
How we work
Every engagement starts with a Discovery Sprint. Requirements, architecture, and estimate are locked in before a line of production code is written.
Data models, API contracts, and system diagrams reviewed with you before development starts. No surprises mid-sprint.
Working software at every demo. You see progress continuously, not a big reveal six weeks in. Feedback loops are short by design.
Production deployment, documentation, and a 30-day warranty. Retainer clients continue iterating. We don't do ghost handoffs.

The founder
Anurag Bains, Founder and CEO
Founder and CEO, Codex Corp
Anurag Bains founded Codex Corp with a clear thesis: the fragmentation between creative, design, development, and infrastructure teams is the single biggest obstacle to building a great brand. Instead of accepting that fragmentation as an industry norm, he built a structure designed to eliminate it.
Codex Corp is built on the belief that a client should be able to bring one brief and have it executed at every layer, from the first brand mark to the infrastructure that serves it globally. Anurag built each operating company with that end state in mind, ensuring they were not just individually excellent, but natively compatible with each other.
"The best work happens when the people doing it speak the same language. That is what Codex Corp is: not a collection of vendors, but a single team that happens to be organized into four specializations."Anurag Bains, Founder
