Kidus Tefeta
Founder and CEO of Kidus Digital Group, KTeC design, and BookHere. Self-taught software and product engineer. 18 years old.
I taught myself all of this, and I learn fast. I design and build software, platforms, and products from scratch, from the frontend and backend to the infrastructure, the native apps, and the brand around them. Then I produce the media that makes them look real.
Who I am
I don't wait for someone to build it. I build it.
I'm 18, a founder and a self-taught software and product engineer. Nobody taught me this. I pick up whatever a build needs and pick it up fast, then I build whole products end to end: the interface, the backend, the database, the payments, the native apps, and the brand and media around them. Not one piece of the machine, but the whole machine.
I run Kidus Digital Group, a media and software company. I've shipped a multi-tenant SaaS with live 3D and live Stripe billing, phone-control software enforced at the operating system level, booking platforms, custom AI assistants, and native apps across iPhone, Android, and desktop, all before turning 19. If it can be built, I'd rather build it than settle for what already exists.
What I'm capable of
The full stack, and then some.
Product & full-stack engineering
Multi-tenant SaaS, dashboards, auth, roles, live billing, and a super-admin control plane with feature flags and error monitoring. Built to run in the real world, not just to look good in a demo.
Cloud & backend
Cloudflare Pages, Workers, and KV; Supabase and Postgres with row-level security; live Stripe subscriptions; REST APIs, CI, and deploys.
3D & interactive web
Real-time 3D product customizers in the browser, drag to rotate, cloth and physics, WebGL and Three.js.
AI integration
Custom in-product assistants on the Claude API, retrieval and knowledge bases, and on-device ML like background removal.
Mobile & device software
Native SwiftUI apps for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, Android apps, device-owner kiosk lockdown, iOS supervision, and OS-level control.
Design, brand & media
UI systems and animated sites, brand identity and icon systems, plus film, video, and photography production.
Selected work
Things I've built.
KTeC design
Custom apparel software
A multi-tenant SaaS at ktec.design. Customers design their own apparel in live 3D, every shop gets its own branded storefront from 100 designed styles, and owners run orders, products, loyalty, and print files from an installable dashboard. It runs on live Stripe subscription billing, a super-admin control plane across every store (feature flags plus a platform-wide error radar), loyalty and affiliates, and a client-side ML background remover. I built all of it: the frontend, the Cloudflare Worker backend, the Supabase database, the billing, and native apps for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android, and desktop.

BookHere
Booking pages for small businesses
A booking page any service business can run, whether a barber, a tattoo artist, or a salon. Two ways in: I build it for you, or you sign yourself up and go live instantly. Live calendar with real openings, Google and email sign-in, owner approval, cancel and reschedule, an Office that builds a client page in five minutes, and 100 unique designs. It also ships as native apps for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Android.

The Out Past family
One brand, built to get you out past distraction, on every device.
Private
Out Past
A growth operating system
A daily system for people who refuse to stay ordinary. It brings an AI mentor, day planning, curated learning, sleep tracking, and accountability, distilled from the greatest performers and living inside your actual day.
Private
Out Past Focus
Lockdown for every device
Locks a device at the operating system level until a focus session ends, with only real calls getting through. Working on both iPhone (supervision) and Android (device owner), and across tablet and computer too. Real enforcement, with no back door.
Private
Out Past Design
A whiteboard operating system
A kiosk OS that boots straight into an infinite whiteboard, with handwriting-to-text, image tools, and built-in mini apps. It connects to your other devices, so your scratchpad, ideas, and designs move device to device. A device that turns on and drops you straight into thinking, with nothing else in the way.
Kidus Digital Group
Media + software company
The studio I run. White-label media production for agencies, plus our own software products. The site, the brand, the KAI AI assistant, and the whole Cloudflare setup were built in-house.
Client sites & brands
Mussie (structural engineer), Grace Church, Light Of Tomorrow, A4 Studio, and more
Custom, animated, high-converting websites and brand work built from scratch for real clients, businesses, and communities, each one designed to stand out instead of looking like a template.
