• Riaz Moola launched HyperDev in 2025 to generate full applications from simple text descriptions.
• The platform enables users to design, test and deploy apps without complex coding processes.
• The solution offers flexible architecture choices and unlimited iterations to refine applications.

Riaz Moola is a South African computer scientist, investor and entrepreneur. He founded and chairs HyperDev, an online platform that uses artificial intelligence to transform ideas into functional applications without lengthy and complex processes.

Founded in 2025, HyperDev allows users to design, test and deploy full applications from a simple natural-language description. The user defines requirements and operating rules, and the platform automatically generates an application that runs directly in a web browser.

HyperDev differentiates its offering through flexibility. The platform does not impose a single project model and instead allows users to select backend architecture and data storage options.

As a result, users retain full control over project structure and long-term evolution. Consequently, the platform positions itself as a customizable alternative to rigid no-code solutions.

HyperDev also removes constraints on creation volume. The platform allows users to create, test and iterate as many times as needed.

Users can explore multiple approaches, compare different versions of the same project and progressively refine applications until they reach optimal performance. Therefore, the solution encourages experimentation and rapid prototyping.

Riaz Moola also founded and leads HyperionDev, an online certification and education technology platform established in 2012. In addition, he co-founded Dark Math Games in 2023 and invested in Longdue, a British company focused on gaming technologies.

Riaz Moola earned a bachelor’s degree in computer science and mathematics from the University of KwaZulu-Natal in 2011. He then earned a bachelor’s degree in computer science and artificial intelligence from the University of Edinburgh in 2014, followed by a master’s degree in technology policy from the University of Cambridge in 2016.

Before his entrepreneurial career, he held several roles in the technology sector. In 2014, he worked as a developer and technology analyst at Bank of America Merrill Lynch. In 2015, he became an associate product manager at Google in Switzerland. In 2016, he served as chief technical advisor at Injini.
