About Us

SCROLL
// Who We Are

Small team. No Bullshit.
Unreasonable Attention to Detail.

Midcoast Works is small on purpose. No middle managers. No nine-person Zoom call to decide on a button color. You get one developer who’s obsessive about performance, opinionated about code quality, and uses AI to move at a speed that makes agencies look like government offices. Every site we ship is handcrafted. Custom websites built on a performace-first stack, optimized down to the last database query, deployed on infrastructure that doesn’t flinch under traffic. We treat every project like a product launch because that’s what it deserves.

But here’s what actually sets us apart: we don’t just build your site and bounce. We look at your whole digital operation. Why are leads dropping off? Why is your team spending 10 hours a week on tasks a workflow could handle? Why are your ads burning money? The website is usually where it starts, but the real value is in what happens after it goes live.

The Team

M

Mike Castro

Founder & Lead Solutions Engineer

Full-stack developer and digital strategist with 11+ years of industry experience, but at heart, he’s a problem solver who happens to use code as his tool. He doesn’t start with “what should we build?” He starts with “what’s actually broken?” Started Midcoast Works because he got tired of watching agencies charge premium prices for template sites and plugin soup, and businesses getting burned by “solutions” that created more problems than they solved. Believes every business deserves a website that doesn’t suck, and that it should fix real problems instead of just looking pretty.
When he’s not writing code, he’s probably automating something that doesn’t need to be automated yet.
