• API development and third-party system integrations
• AWS, GCP, Azure, Docker, Kubernetes
• QA, application maintenance, performance optimization, and ongoing engineering support

We are particularly experienced in owning technically complex products. This includes building new SaaS platforms, modernizing large existing codebases, stabilizing legacy systems, integrating third-party services, and introducing AI capabilities into established business workflows.

Our portfolio includes multi-tenant enterprise platforms, AI recruitment workflows, document-intelligence systems, real-time voice agents, CRM and SaaS modernization projects, marketplaces, financial platforms, and high-volume web applications.

Contrive Solutions provides dedicated engineering teams and project-based delivery backed by software architects, full-stack engineers, AI engineers, QA specialists, DevOps engineers, and project managers.

Our approach is: understand the business problem, design the right architecture, ship maintainable software, measure the outcome, and remain accountable after launch.

Our Story

From helping Metabeta raise €1 million to enabling 24/7 sales, Contrive Solutions builds AI that changes what teams can achieve. Since 2014, we've built a portfolio platform, a Jira-to-PR pipeline that speeds delivery, and a voice agent that lets a leaner sales team respond reliably. Our HR automation reduces repetitive work; our Playwright QA pipeline writes and runs tests, records video, and narrates results for product owners and QA.

Meet the Team

Rohan JalilFounder & CEO

Rohan Jalil is Founder & CEO of Contrive Solutions, an AI engineer and software architect. Since 2014, he has led teams building production AI agents, SaaS platforms and business automation, from architecture through delivery.

What Sets Us Apart

AI-Powered HR Automation

We built an AI recruitment workflow that reduces repetitive screening and coordination. Contrive reports that the process moved from three full-time HR roles to one and cut processing time from eight hours to two, while keeping people in control of hiring decisions.

24/7 Voice Sales Agents

Our voice sales agent handles inbound conversations around the clock, captures lead details and hands over when a person is needed. It gives buyers a consistent response and lets a smaller sales team cover more demand without relying on business-hour availability.

Playwright QA With Reviewable Video

Our automated QA pipeline writes and runs Playwright tests, records each run, adds a voiceover and sends the result to product owners and QA for review. This makes issues easier to see and shortens repetitive testing while retaining human sign-off.
