AvaCode Solutions

Senior backend engineering, without the full-time hire

AvaCode Solutions is led by a backend engineer with a decade building production systems for high-scale fintech and payments companies — available for architecture, backend development, and technical consulting when your team needs depth without a permanent headcount.

OUR APPROACH

Software built to be used, not just installed.

A lot of software fails because it asks too much of the people using it — new apps to install, new accounts to remember, new interfaces to learn. AvaCode is built around a simpler idea: reach people through the tools they already have, and remove friction wherever possible.

We care about software that behaves well in imperfect conditions. The technology should be reliable when the network is slow, respectful of the time and attention of the person using it, and transparent enough in how it works that organisations can trust what they're adopting. That's why we build on open-source foundations and ship hosted platforms on top of them — giving people a choice between managing the technology themselves or letting us handle it.

Below you'll find our products and the services we offer.

OPEN SOURCE FOUNDATION

The Engine Behind InboxAcademy

Django Email Learning — our open-source library

Everything we build in InboxAcademy sits on top of django-email-learning, an open-source software library we develop and maintain. It's what actually handles the delivery of courses, quizzes, and enrolments through email. Publishing it openly means there's full transparency in how our platform works, and any organisation with the technical capacity can host it themselves rather than relying on us.

The section below is a quick technical overview for developers — feel free to skip ahead if it's not for you.

Open Source

Get started in minutes

Add email-based learning to any Django project with four simple steps.

# Install via pip
pip install django-email-learning

# With AI editing tools (optional)
pip install 'django-email-learning[ai]'

# settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = [
        # ... your other apps
        'django_email_learning',
]

DJANGO_EMAIL_LEARNING = {
        'SITE_BASE_URL': 'https://yourdomain.com',
        'ENCRYPTION_SECRET_KEY': 'your-secret-key',
}

# Run database migrations
python manage.py migrate django_email_learning

# urls.py
from django.urls import path, include

urlpatterns = [
        # ... your other URL patterns
        path('email-learning/', include('django_email_learning.urls')),
]

# Platform available at  → /email-learning/platform/
# Public courses at      → /email-learning/public/
# API endpoints at       → /email-learning/api/

HOSTED PLATFORM

InboxAcademy

Everything django-email-learning does, plus the infrastructure, support, and polish — without the technical setup.

InboxAcademy is our hosted service — the simplest way for organisations to use our platform without having to install or maintain anything themselves. Lessons arrive directly in your team members' inboxes. No logins. No apps. No missed deadlines.

It's built for HR teams, educators, and organisations that need training people will actually finish — whether that's compliance training like AML/CTF and GDPR, employee onboarding, structured email courses, or educational programmes reaching learners in regions where web platforms are unreliable or restricted.

We handle everything behind the scenes — email delivery, hosting, storage, AI-assisted content tools, and Google Workspace integration — so you can focus on the learning itself rather than the technology.

Read more about InboxAcademy and join the waitlist on the InboxAcademy page.

Available for Engagements

Backend development · Django/Python systems · AI tooling & MCP servers · Technical consulting

We also take on project-based and retainer engineering work — from backend systems to AI integrations — for teams and solo creators that need senior depth without a full-time hire.

Founder

Built by Someone Who Has Been in the Room

AvaCode Solutions was founded by Payam Najafizadeh, a software engineer with over a decade of experience building backend systems for companies like Klarna and Brite Payments. That experience — working inside product teams, shipping production systems, and solving real engineering problems — is what shapes how AvaCode approaches software, whether it's a product we're building ourselves or an engagement for another team.

That's why AvaCode operates two ways. We build and maintain our own products — django-email-learning and InboxAcademy — and Payam also takes on backend engineering and technical consulting directly, bringing that same production experience to teams that need senior depth without a permanent hire.

AvaCode was founded with a simple belief: that technology, when built thoughtfully, can create meaningful social impact. The work on django-email-learning and InboxAcademy grows directly from that belief — making structured education simpler to deliver and more accessible to the people who need it.

If that overlaps with what your team needs — whether it's a senior backend engineer, a technical co-founder, or help with a specific project — get in touch.
