Based in Ottawa, Zap Media develops software and artificial intelligence systems for organizations while conducting internal applied R&D across business technology, advanced industry, and defence.
Headquartered in downtown Ottawa at 150 Elgin Street, Zap Media combines client software engineering, AI research and automation, digital product engineering, website delivery, and internal technology R&D.
Our approach is deliberately practical. We build directly for organizations, and we also invest in internal products where the same commercial or technical problems keep appearing across the markets we know.
That includes business technology such as finance operations, bookkeeping tracking, payroll workflows, grant and tax credit navigation, internal systems, and the consultant-heavy processes that can price smaller companies out of the support they need.
Our internal research programs currently include AI-enabled business technologies and a Canadian defence and dual-use R&D stream focused on distributed RF sensing and intelligence.
We serve organizations in Ottawa, Toronto, across Canada, and internationally that need clearer technical direction, stronger digital assets, and custom systems that match how the work actually operates today.
Zap Media is led by operators and builders who care about business outcomes as much as technical execution. Our work spans software R&D, machine learning, technical strategy, product engineering, research commercialization, website delivery, and client operations.
Partner, AI & Technical Strategy
Daniyal shapes Zap Media's technical and commercial direction, with a focus on AI-enabled transformation, software R&D, product engineering, and growth strategy for Canadian organizations. He helps turn unclear business or technical problems into practical roadmaps, validated opportunities, and buildable software systems.
Partner, Business Strategy & Operations
Sashien brings deep experience in partnerships, investment, operations, and strategic management across the Enigmatic portfolio. At Zap Media, he helps align business goals, operating realities, and delivery priorities so software, website, and AI initiatives can move from concept to measurable implementation.
Operations Manager
Raha keeps Zap Media's client work organized, responsive, and human. She supports project coordination, communication, content planning, and day-to-day operations so website builds, software research, and AI automation work stay clear, timely, and connected to the people they are meant to help.
Full-Stack Developer
Mayank builds fast, accessible web applications and internal tools with a focus on React, Next.js, TypeScript, performance, and maintainable architecture. His work helps Zap Media translate research, workflow complexity, and AI-enabled product ideas into usable interfaces that feel clear for real teams.
Creative & Production Advisor
Carl brings Emmy Award-winning production experience across broadcast, digital, and live environments. He supports Zap Media through the experience layer: visual quality, content systems, operational discipline, and the creative standards that help technical projects feel credible, polished, and ready for public use.
Part of the Enigmatic Group of Companies
Zap Media operates within the Enigmatic ecosystem alongside other companies and ventures. That ecosystem gives our clients a broader mix of creative, operational, finance, product, and technology perspective, and it helps us identify the recurring problems worth turning into in-house products or applied R&D programs.
