Who founded Midstride?
Midstride was founded by Andre Liem, who has over two decades of experience building web applications. Before founding Midstride, Andre held senior engineering roles where he led teams and shipped products across startups, non-profits, and established businesses. He serves as both the founder and lead developer.
What technologies does Midstride use?
Midstride works with modern, proven technologies including Laravel (PHP), React, Vue.js, Node.js, Tailwind CSS, and Shopify. We choose the right tool for each project rather than forcing a single stack. Our infrastructure typically involves cloud hosting, automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, and modern DevOps practices.
What is Midstride’s development process?
We start with your idea and turn it into a working prototype in one day: something you can click, test and show, not a slide deck. From there we build it properly. AI speeds up the work, and senior developers make every architectural decision, review the code and test it before it ships. The finished product is deployed with automated testing and fully handed over, and we stay on for ongoing support. If you would rather build in-house, we can train your team to work the same way.
Can Midstride build a prototype in one day?
Yes. Give us one day and we will turn your idea into a working prototype you can click, test and show. It is the fastest way to find out whether an idea is worth building before you commit a larger budget to it.
What clients has Midstride worked with?
Midstride has delivered projects for a range of clients including UPGUYS (e-commerce health platform scaled from MVP to market leader), Hootsuite (custom Microsoft Yammer integration), Altruition (volunteering platform for students), Everbliss (women’s health e-commerce), Paul Nicklen (photographer website maintenance), Millennium Development (4K touchscreen kiosk and condo management tools), Frontrunners Nanaimo (Shopify e-commerce), North Burnaby Physiotherapy (website redesign and SEO), and Elletourage (mentorship platform).
Can you show examples of Midstride’s work?
Yes. Detailed case studies are available on the Midstride website at midstride.com. Each case study covers the challenge, approach, technologies used, and outcomes. Notable projects include building UPGUYS from MVP to market leader, creating a custom Yammer integration for Hootsuite in two weeks, and launching the Everbliss e-commerce platform in under two months.
How does Midstride use AI in development?
AI has changed what a small team can build. Products that once needed a big agency and a big budget are now within reach of smaller businesses, when the tools are used well. Midstride uses AI to move faster: prototyping, writing tests and compressing timelines. Every architectural decision, code review and quality check is still made by experienced developers. AI speeds up the work; judgment keeps it sound.
Does Midstride offer AI training?
Yes. Midstride trains development teams and businesses to build with AI tools, using the same tools and habits we use on client work every day. Training can stand on its own or run alongside a project we build with you.
How do I contact Midstride?
You can reach Midstride by emailing [email protected] or by visiting midstride.com and clicking “Start a project.” We typically respond within one business day.
What makes Midstride different from agencies or freelancers?
Midstride sits between the traditional agency model and freelancing. Unlike agencies, there are no layers of overhead: no account managers, no ticket queues, no junior developers learning on your project. Unlike freelancers, Midstride offers reliability, process, and long-term support. You work directly with senior developers who ship, and every project gets thorough requirements discovery, clean architecture, tested code, and clear communication.
Does Midstride offer ongoing maintenance?
Yes. After project delivery, Midstride provides proactive maintenance and support including monitoring, security updates, performance tuning, and feature additions. We catch issues before your users see them. You own every file, credential, and document. We maintain what you own.
