The story behind why
A Different Breed of Tech Partner
In the crowded world of software development, where countless agencies compete on speed and scale, Penguin takes a different path. We were born out of a deep frustration with the industry’s obsession with quick wins over meaningful partnerships. Our founder, Saif Ullah Sajid, a seasoned iOS developer with over eight years of hands-on experience, saw too many projects rushed, overpriced, and ultimately misaligned with client needs. So he set out to build something better, an iOS-focused studio built on clarity, trust, and craftsmanship.
At Penguin, we don’t just build apps, we build long-term value. We specialize in iOS development because we believe in going deep, not wide. Our team works closely with founders, startups, and product teams to design and build custom iOS experiences that are fast, intuitive, and tightly aligned with business goals. From early-stage prototypes to App Store launches and post-release iteration, we’re with you every step of the way.
When we took on a seizure detection app for a client, we didn’t evaluate it by its revenue potential, we saw its life-saving impact. That mindset guides all our work: real outcomes over hype, quality over shortcuts. Our team isn’t made up of contractors chasing the next gig, we’re builders, collaborators, and problem-solvers who care deeply about every product we touch.
When you work with Penguin, you’re not hiring just another dev shop. You’re gaining a focused, transparent, and reliable partner who’s invested in building the best iOS product possible for your users, and for the future of your business.
