Software studio & training hub · Kaduna, Nigeria
We build the software.Then we teach you how.
Caxton Software Dev Hub is a registered Nigerian studio with two jobs: shipping production software for businesses that need it, and training the engineers who will maintain it — with an AI study assistant working alongside a human mentor, not instead of one.

Why does my useEffect run twice in development?
Because Strict Mode intentionally mounts, unmounts and remounts your component to surface missing cleanup. It is not a bug — it is the check. Look at what your effect subscribes to, then write the cleanup that undoes it. Want to paste the effect and work through it together?
It will not write your assignment. Ask it to, and it asks you what you have tried.

Two ways in
Whichever side of the desk you are on
Most people arrive here for one of two reasons. Pick the one that describes you and we will keep the rest out of your way.
You need software built
Websites, internal tools, customer portals, onchain products. Fixed scope and fixed price agreed before work starts, a working demo every Friday, and the repository in your name from the first commit.
- Fixed written quote after discovery
- Weekly demos, no status theatre
- 30 days of free fixes after launch
You want to become an engineer
Cohort courses and one-to-one mentorship in frontend, backend, Cairo and Starknet, and design. Taught by people who ship client work in the same week they teach it.
- Live cohorts with capped seat numbers
- Code review on your real pull requests
- AI study assistant included on every plan
Services
All services What we are hired to do
Four things, done properly, rather than a list of everything a computer can do.
Custom software development
Internal tools, customer portals, marketplaces, and the unglamorous systems that run a business. Built to be handed over, not held hostage.
From ₦1,500,0006 – 16 weeks
Web design & development
Marketing sites, product sites, and web applications designed here and built here — one team, so nothing is lost in the handover.
From ₦450,0003 – 8 weeks
Embedded product engineering
A dedicated engineer or small squad inside your team, on a monthly retainer. For companies with a roadmap and no one to build it.
From ₦1,200,000Monthly retainer, 3-month minimum
Team training & academies
Corporate cohorts run for banks, agencies, and NGOs — our curriculum, delivered against your stack and your timeline.
Price on application4 – 12 weeks per cohort
How a project runs
No mysteries between the deposit and the launch
Every engagement follows the same four stages. You always know which one you are in and what comes next.
- 01Week 0
Discovery
We sit with the people who will use the thing. You get a written scope, a fixed price, and an honest note on anything we think is a bad idea.
- 02Weeks 1 – 2
Design
Interface design and technical architecture, in parallel. You approve screens and data model before anyone writes production code.
- 03Weeks 3 – n
Build
Two-week sprints with a working demo every Friday. Repository access from day one, so you can watch it being built.
- 04Final week
Handover
Deployment, documentation, and a training session for your team. Then 30 days of free bug fixes while you settle in.
Why people trust us with a deposit
Verify our registrationThe four promises we put in every contract
Nigerian businesses have good reason to be careful with software vendors. These are written commitments, not marketing lines.
Fixed scope, fixed price
You approve a written scope and a number before we write a line of code. No mid-project surprises.
You own the repository
Source code lives in your GitHub organisation from the first commit — not ours. Access on day one, not at handover.
Weekly demos
Every Friday you see working software, not a status report. If a week goes badly, you find out that Friday.
30-day post-launch support
Bug fixes on anything we built are free for 30 days after go-live. Written into every contract.
Training
All courses Cohorts that end with you employable
Small groups, capped seats, and real code review. Every course finishes with deployed work you can show someone.

AI-assisted learning
A tutor at 1am. A mentor on Tuesday.
Every course and mentorship plan includes a study assistant scoped to your curriculum — it knows which module you are in and what you are meant to be able to do by Friday.
What it does
- Explains the same idea a third way, patiently
- Reads your code and finds the wrong assumption
- Generates practice at the difficulty you are stuck on
- Answers against your course material, not the open internet
What it refuses
- Writing your assignment for you
- Handing over a solution before you have tried
- Replacing your mentor's judgement about your career
- Pretending to be certain when it is not
Learners who let a model write their code report high confidence and fail technical interviews. The typing is not the part you are paying to learn — so the assistant will not do it for you.
Also taught as a course
AI-Assisted Engineering
Six weeks on using these tools the way senior engineers do: writing specifications a model can act on, reviewing generated code critically, and building your own agentic tool against the Claude API — including the parts where it breaks.

For people who have the material and not the momentum. Your mentor reads your code before the call, so the call is spent on the hard part.
In their words
Clients and graduates
Quotes below are illustrative placeholders pending permission to publish names — replace before launch.
They scoped the build in a week, gave us a fixed price, and shipped ahead of the date. The handover documentation alone was worth the fee.
I came in writing HTML by hand. Eleven weeks later I was reviewing pull requests at my first job. The weekly one-to-ones are what made the difference.
The AI tutor answers at 1am when the mentor is asleep, and it explains using our own course material rather than something generic off the internet.
We had been burned by a previous developer who vanished. Caxton gave us weekly demos and repository access from day one. No mysteries.
