Frontend to backend, one owner
Hiring rounds often take weeks before anyone writes real code. What you usually need is one person who can own the architecture and the delivery from the first week.
You talk directly to the people writing the code, which keeps architecture decisions close to the implementation.
If that sounds like your situation, Arcode is set up for founders and teams needing full-stack ownership. UI, APIs, auth, payments, and infrastructure delivered as a coherent product system.
What you get
- Complete product delivery
- API and database design
- Auth, billing, and realtime
- Maintainable TypeScript codebases
- One studio accountable for the result
- Design and engineering on the same schedule
- Support available after launch
How engagement works
As your full stack developer, we run a shared backlog, design reviews, and engineering sprints, and you keep one point of contact throughout.
- 01
Discover
Goals, constraints, data sources, and success metrics, all settled before we touch architecture or prompts. On full stack development projects we favour practical architecture over trendy defaults.
- 02
Design
System design, AI/tool boundaries, interface direction, and interaction prototypes. The work for teams in Miami stays tied to the outcome you asked for.
- 03
Build
Modern stack, clean architecture, evaluated AI behavior, and iterative demos you can react to. You see progress on the critical path every week.
- 04
Launch
Ship, monitor, harden, and keep improving models, tools, and product after go-live. Nothing here waits on a handover between separate teams.
How we build it, and why
The stack is chosen per project, not applied from a template. For full stack developer work these are the defaults, and the reason each one is on the list.
- React
- the component model most teams can already hire for and maintain
- Next.js
- server rendering and static generation in one framework, so marketing pages stay fast and app routes stay dynamic
- Node.js
- one language across the stack, so context does not get lost at the boundary
- NestJS
- structure and dependency injection on the backend, which keeps a growing API from turning into a pile of route handlers
- Stripe
- payments, subscriptions, and the tax and invoicing edge cases you do not want to build
What the first weeks look like
- Days 1-3
Context and constraints
Codebase, deploy path, and what "done" means for the full stack development. Short, because the useful version of this is specific.
- Week 1
First shipped slice
Something real goes out in the first week — complete product delivery rather than a setup ticket.
- Weeks 2-6
Build to the milestone
Pull requests, reviews, and weekly demos. You see the work as it happens rather than at a handover meeting.
- Handover
Documented and transferable
Runbooks, architecture notes, and a walkthrough, so the work does not depend on us still being here.
Weighing up your options
There are three realistic ways to get this built. Each is the right answer for someone.
A solo freelancer
Cheapest per hour and fine for a contained task. The risk on full stack development is breadth — one person covering design, backend, infrastructure, and launch usually means one of them is weak, and there is no cover when they are unavailable.
A local agency in Miami
Same timezone and a face to meet, which genuinely matters for some teams. You are also paying Miami market for modern websites, apps, and AI features. rates for the whole team including the layers that never touch your full stack development, and a local shortlist is a small shortlist.
Arcode
A small senior team. The people who scope the full stack development write the code, you get weekly demos instead of status decks, and the engagement ends when the thing is live and handed over.

Working with teams in Miami
Miami market for modern websites, apps, and AI features. We work with clients in Miami remotely and keep overlapping hours in EST/EDT. We usually collaborate in English/Spanish.
How we work with Miami teams
Miami is on ET, so our afternoon covers your morning: one scheduled call window a day plus written updates covers most engagements comfortably.
What Miami clients usually need
Miami work is noticeably weighted towards healthcare and clinic software, plus Latin-America-facing commerce that has to work in both English and Spanish.
Contracts, data, and compliance
Healthcare projects here mean HIPAA from day one: audit logging, access control, encryption at rest, and a signed BAA where we touch protected health information. We scope that into the build, not after it.
