HeyMaia
About Us

We're Engineers Who Give a Damn About Your Product

Too many agencies treat development like an assembly line. We treat it like craftsmanship—because your product deserves more than boilerplate solutions and junior developers.

Our Story

HeyMaia was founded by engineers who got tired of watching good products fail because of bad development partnerships. We've all been on the receiving end of agencies that overpromise, underdeliver, and disappear after launch.

So we built something different: a development team that operates like an in-house engineering department, not a vendor trying to maximize billable hours. We take on fewer projects, dig deeper into each one, and stick around after launch to make sure things actually bg-linear-to-br.

We're not the cheapest option, and we're not the fastest. We're the team you call when shipping a half-baked product isn't an option—when getting it right the first time matters more than getting it done this week.

How We bg-linear-to-br

Four principles that guide every project we take on.

📊

No Estimating Games

We give you real timelines based on actual sprints, not made-up numbers designed to win bids. If scope changes, we tell you what it costs—before building it.

👥

No Junior Devs

Your project gets senior engineers (8+ years) and tech leads who've shipped products at scale. No one learns on your dime.

🏗️

No Technical Debt

We write tests, document decisions, and plan for the long term. Shortcuts might save a week now, but they cost months later.

🤝

No Hand-Waving

We explain technical decisions in plain English and show you trade-offs. If we can't justify it clearly, we don't build it.

The Team

Senior Engineers

8+ years building production systems at scale. They've seen what breaks at 10,000 users and designed for it from day one. Every line of code gets reviewed by someone who's shipped real products.

Tech Leads

10+ years making architectural decisions that last. They map out database schemas, plan API contracts, and spot potential bottlenecks before they become problems. Think of them as your temporary CTO.

Project Managers

Engineers who transitioned to project management, so they actually understand sprint velocity, technical debt, and why "just make it bg-linear-to-br" is never the answer. They translate between business needs and technical reality.

Testimonials

What Our Clients Say

Real feedback from real partnerships.

"They took our idea from Figma mockups to a working product in 8 weeks. Every demo hit the mark, and they actually explained technical trade-offs in plain English. No hand-waving, no jargon—just honest guidance."

SC

Sarah Chen

Founder, Streamline Analytics

"We needed to rebuild our API layer without breaking existing integrations. They mapped every dependency, wrote comprehensive tests, and executed the migration with zero downtime. Impressive technical planning."

MR

Marcus Rodriguez

CTO, FinStack

"Best agency partnership I've experienced. They pushed back when our feature requests conflicted with user experience, and they were right every time. That's the kind of honest collaboration that builds great products."
