About PeekAbode

Mashud Abukari is a finance and strategy professional with more than a decade of experience spanning financial management, business transformation, program leadership, and strategic planning. As a CPA and PMP-certified professional, he brings a unique combination of financial discipline, operational expertise, and entrepreneurial thinking to PeekAbode.

In his professional career, Mashud has worked across complex, global finance organizations, including CBRE, where he has led finance programs and transformation initiatives involving cross-functional teams, financial systems, reporting, process optimization, and large-scale organizational change. His experience has given him a deep understanding of how technology, data, and well-designed processes can transform traditionally complex industries.

At PeekAbode, Mashud applies that experience to help build a more accessible, efficient, and technology-driven real estate experience. He focuses on the financial strategy, business operations, and scalable infrastructure needed to turn PeekAbode's vision into a sustainable and high-growth platform.

His background extends beyond traditional finance. Mashud has developed expertise in financial modeling, risk and controls, project management, and financial transformation, while also pursuing education and professional development in areas including private equity, Islamic finance, and business strategy. His academic background includes degrees in accounting from Baruch College and Queens College, CUNY.

A strong believer in entrepreneurship and creating practical solutions to real-world problems, Mashud brings a data-driven but entrepreneurial mindset to PeekAbode. His perspective is grounded in a simple principle: great businesses are built by combining a compelling vision with disciplined execution.

At PeekAbode, he is helping build the financial and strategic foundation for a new generation of real estate services—one designed to give consumers greater flexibility, transparency, and access while creating new opportunities for real estate professionals.

Ved is the software developer behind PeekAbode's web and mobile products, responsible for building and shipping the platform that powers the company's on-demand real estate services marketplace across iOS, Android, and the web.

He built PeekAbode's mobile apps as a cross-platform product on React Native and Expo, with a single codebase serving both the iOS and Android releases. On the backend and infrastructure side, his work covers authentication and data through Supabase, payments through Stripe, push notifications through Firebase and APNs, and the AI-assisted features layered into the product experience. Alongside the apps, he develops and maintains peekabode.com, keeping the web presence aligned with the product as it evolves.

Beyond writing code, Ved owns the release process end to end. He has taken PeekAbode through the full Google Play publishing workflow, from closed testing to a live production listing, and through Apple's App Store review cycle, including the compliance work that modern consumer apps demand: App Tracking Transparency, in-app account deletion, and moderation safeguards for user-generated content. That work reflects how he approaches engineering in general, treating security, privacy, and platform compliance as part of the build rather than an afterthought.

His approach is AI-native, using modern AI tooling to compress the distance between an idea and a working product. That suits a startup environment where speed matters, and it is a large part of how PeekAbode has been able to move from concept to a live product on two app stores with a lean team.

Ved also brings a product and design sensibility shaped by years of work in branding, content, and digital marketing before moving into full-time product development. It gives him a view of the app that goes past the codebase, covering how users find the product, understand it in the first thirty seconds, and decide to trust it with a request. He is currently completing a Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA), alongside a largely self-taught foundation in mobile and web engineering.

At PeekAbode, Ved is focused on building technology that makes real estate services genuinely easy to request, accept, and complete. His guiding principle is simple: the best product is the one that ships, gets used, and gets better every week.
