Full-stack development · Atlanta, Georgia

We build the application and the infrastructure it runs on.

Heat From Fire is a software consultancy specializing in full-stack application development. Interface, backend, and deployment pipeline — designed together, delivered by the people who wrote them.

Fixed scope, fixed price

What we do

Three things, done properly.

A narrow practice on purpose. Everything below is work we do ourselves, not work we broker out to someone else.

Full-Stack Applications

The whole product, from the screen to the database.

Web applications built end to end — interface, application logic, data model, and the deploy that puts them in front of users. One team owns the whole path, so nothing falls into the gap between front end and back end.

Details

Backend & APIs

Services that stay correct under load.

APIs, data models, background jobs, and integrations. The work that decides whether an application is fast, correct, and cheap to change a year from now — designed to be read and modified by whoever comes next.

Details

DevOps & Infrastructure

Shipping should be boring.

Build pipelines, environments, and infrastructure defined in code. Deploys become a routine event rather than a scheduled risk, and the path from a merged commit to production is short and repeatable.

How an engagement runs

You should never have to ask how it is going.

  1. 01

    Scope

    A short paid discovery: read the code, talk to the people who use it, and write down what is actually being asked for. It ends with a fixed scope, a price, and a date.

  2. 02

    Build

    Work lands in small increments on a branch you can see. You get a running deployment early and a weekly written update, so progress is something you check rather than something you are told about.

  3. 03

    Ship

    Deploys go through the same pipeline every time. Handover includes the infrastructure, the runbook, and the reasoning — not just a repository and good luck.

  4. 04

    Support

    A defined support window after launch, and a standing retainer if you want one. Either way the code is yours and it is documented well enough to hand to someone else.

Why a small firm

Fewer people between you and the work.

A large agency sells you process. What you usually want is someone senior who understands the problem and has time to solve it.

More about how we work

You work with the person writing the code

No account manager relaying your requirements to a delivery team you never meet. The person in the technical call is the person in the pull request.

Fixed scope, fixed price

Discovery produces a number before the build starts. If the scope changes, we price the change and you decide. No open-ended hourly drift.

You own everything

Source, infrastructure definitions, accounts, and documentation transfer to you at the end. Nothing is held back to make leaving difficult.

Built to be handed over

Code is written on the assumption that someone else will maintain it. Boring, documented, and conventional beats clever every time.

Maddie Synths

Eurorack synthesizer hardware for people who build their own racks — DIY kits for those who want to solder it themselves, and completed modules for those who want to patch it today.

See the hardware
  • DIY kits

    Everything needed to build the module: board, panel, and the full bill of materials, with build documentation written for someone at the kitchen table rather than the bench.

  • Completed modules

    The same designs, assembled, calibrated, and tested. Rack-ready out of the box.
