The Challenge

What we were up against

Maestro Tareq Al Jundi is one of the most prominent oud players in the Arab world. Moving his curriculum online had to carry the weight of his presence, not flatten decades of mastery into a YouTube playlist. Multi-angle video, embedded notation, and paced progression had to make a screen feel like a class with him in the room.

The audience is global from day one. Diaspora learners and cultural enthusiasts across 27 countries, on whatever device they happen to own, often on patchy connections. Web, iOS, and Android had to ship together without splitting into three teams or three codebases.

This was a Developer as a Service engagement. Oud Soloist owned product, brand, and roadmap. We owned engineering. The work had to fit inside their cadence and their definition of done, without us bringing in our own opinions about how the product should look.

Our Approach

How we solved it

1

Embedded Engineering

Developer as a Service. An engineering team inside their roadmap, paired with their product owner, shipping on their cadence.

2

Cross-Platform App

One Flutter codebase shipped to web, iOS, and Android. Same lesson player, same store, same auth across all three.

3

Content Engine

Node, Express, MongoDB behind the lesson catalog, progression, store, and one-on-one booking. Redis for cache, Firebase for push.

4

Trial and Plans

Seven-day trial walks learners through the first week. Monthly, six-month, and yearly plans behind it. Value lands before the paywall.
