API Pilot

Founded in 2015 by Rizwan Khan, API Pilot operates out of Las Vegas, building custom software for startups, agencies, and growing brands across the US and beyond. Its client roster has included Paragon Metrics, a digital marketing and lead generation firm, alongside businesses in real estate and other sectors that need software built around specific operational needs rather than off-the-shelf tools.

The scope of work spans custom API development and integration, enterprise application development, mobile app development, ecommerce development, and web development, with an emphasis on bespoke software solutions and business process automation. Projects typically start from a defined business problem — a workflow that needs automating, a system that needs to talk to another system, or a customer-facing platform that needs to be built from scratch — and move through development with a focus on the technical requirements specific to that client's operations.

One example of this approach is a Property Listings Management System built for a real estate agency, developed to give the agency a working system for managing property listings rather than a generic template. Work for Paragon Metrics reflects the same pattern: building software infrastructure to support a lead generation and digital marketing business rather than marketing services themselves. Across engagements, the throughline is custom development work — mobile, web, ecommerce, and API integration — built to fit the specific systems and processes already in place at each client.
