Kestrl

Islamic Fintech — Stock Screener MVP, delivered November 2025

Outcomes
  • Delivered a fully working, brand-matched web app in 7 days
  • Provided a live, demoable product for their biggest pitch of the year, with zero last-minute scrambling on their end.
  • Turned their existing stock database into a public-facing search tool their team had no bandwidth to build themselves.
  • Built the foundation for Phase 2: a full AI-powered ethical screener that checks stocks for forced labor, environmental harm, and more.
Challenge

Kestrl had a database full of Sharia-screened stocks, but it was sitting in a spreadsheet, invisible to their users. They were 12 days away from pitching at a major AI event and needed that data turned into a clean, working feature on their website for the demo. Their internal team was already stretched too thin and didn't believe it was possible to build in time.

Solution
  • Built a simple, fast search tool: a user types a company name, and instantly gets back a card showing whether that stock is Sharia-compliant, without complicated interfaces or a learning curve.
  • Plugged directly into Kestrl's existing stock database (no new infrastructure needed), which kept the build fast and the handover to their team straightforward.
  • Matched the design exactly to the Kestrl brand: same fonts, colors, corner shapes, and button styles. The tool looks like it was always part of their website, not something bolted on.
  • Built it to slot straight into their live site via a simple embed, meaning their team could integrate it in hours, not days.
