Ianhub is a private software company founded by Kader Bouyakoub (bkader), dedicated to crafting high-performance, developer-centric web solutions in PHP.
We specialize in creating lightweight, modular, and secure application frameworks designed for developers who value speed, structure, and flexibility.
CodeIgniter Skeleton (CSK) is Ianhub’s flagship framework — a private, modular application foundation built on CodeIgniter 3. It serves as the core engine powering several internal and commercial projects.
🧩 Core Highlights
- Modular architecture with built-in admin interface.
- Theme and marketplace integration.
- Advanced authentication system (with optional 2FA).
- Minimalist database design built for scalability.
- Optimized for performance and maintainability.
CSK is not open source. Access is restricted to Ianhub’s internal projects and selected partners.

Most of these are proprietary but serve as the backbone of upcoming Ianhub products and services.
We believe the web should be faster, cleaner, and developer-first.
At Ianhub, every line of code follows three guiding principles:
- Clarity — Code should be readable and logical.
- Consistency — Structure breeds scalability.
- Control — Developers deserve full ownership of their stack.
Medic turned developer, Kader Bouyakoub is the creator of CodeIgniter Skeleton and several other frameworks, themes, modules, plugins, and libraries under the Ianhub brand. With almost twenty (20) years of coding experience, he did not let a single programming language go untasted and untested. He is also the creator of some World of Warcraft addons and the contributor to several others, either enhancing or back-porting them.
"I am specialized in anything as long as I can learn it."
His work combines medical precision with developer passion — prioritizing structure, simplicity, and technical elegance.
Ianhub is currently expanding CSK’s ecosystem with:
- DinaPress CMS — WordPress-style content management built for CSK.
- Marketplace Integration — Secure distribution for themes and modules.
- Automation Tools — Streamlined deployment and release management.
While most of our work is private, we occasionally share insights, code snippets, and news here on GitHub.
