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 work.

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.

Principles

How We Work

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

Who works on your project

  • 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 faster" is never the answer. They translate between business needs and technical reality.

Testimonials

What Our Clients Say

Real feedback from real partnerships.

  • For years I struggled to keep track of all my client orders and delivery dates. As a solo business owner I had to handle everything myself, and it quickly became overwhelming. The team at heymaia built a custom platform tailored exactly to my workflow, and now managing my day-to-day tasks is incredibly smooth and effortless. They also made my website, and that helped me get more clients.

  • Heymaia is a company that provides personalized attention to understand the specific needs of its customers. In my personal case heymaia was the only company that wanted to accept my website project because it was highly customized. Not only did they accept the project, but they developed it and finished it with incredible results.
