What We Build
Production-ready backends, dashboards, and data pipelines built to solve real operational problems.
Backends, Dashboards & Internal Tools
Your business runs on data, but spreadsheets and manual processes can't keep up. Middletek designs and builds custom backends, admin panels, and dashboards that give your team real-time visibility and control over operations. From order management systems to executive KPI dashboards, we create web applications crafted around your specific data and workflows, replacing chaos with clarity. Ship your MVP in 2 weeks, not 2 months.
Learn MoreAPIs, Middleware & Systems Integration
Disconnected systems create data silos, duplicate work, and costly errors. We create middleware and APIs that seamlessly link your applications, databases, and third-party platforms, enabling real-time data synchronization and centralized management. Whether connecting CRMs, ERPs, payment processors, or custom internal tools, our integrations keep your systems in lockstep and your processes automated.
Learn MoreData Scraping & Pipelines
Raw data is worthless until it's in the right place, in the right format, at the right time. Middletek extracts, cleans, transforms, and routes web and system data into the stores where it drives decisions. From competitive intelligence gathering to automated inventory updates, we build data pipelines that power dynamic pricing, real-time analytics, and business intelligence dashboards.
Learn MorePerformance, Hosting & Infrastructure
Slow applications kill conversions and frustrate users. We design and optimize server and container setups so your applications are fast, reliable, and easy to deploy. Using Docker, intelligent caching strategies, and best-practice tuning for your specific stack, we reduce load times, improve scalability, and make staging and production environments predictable.
Learn MoreeCommerce & WooCommerce Solutions
When eCommerce is part of the picture, we architect and extend WooCommerce and related platforms as powerful components within your wider system. This includes custom plugins, robust APIs, shipping and ERP integrations, and high-performance storefronts that connect seamlessly to your backends and data pipelines, turning your online store into a true business engine.
Learn MoreWordPress Plugins & Custom Builds
Off-the-shelf plugins rarely fit complex business requirements. Middletek designs and builds custom WordPress and WooCommerce plugins that handle bespoke business logic, integrations, and workflows—from complex pricing and shipping rules to syncing orders, products, and customers with your internal systems. Purpose-built solutions that do exactly what you need.
Learn MoreSystems, Not Just Sites
Middletek exists to build the systems behind the scenes that keep modern businesses running smoothly. With over a decade of experience in eCommerce, data engineering, and backend development, we focus on what matters most: custom backends, dashboards, data pipelines, and integrations that solve real operational problems.
We're not a design agency that dabbles in code. We're engineers who understand business operations. Middletek designs and implements APIs, internal tools, and automation that connect your applications and make your data actionable. Our projects span Python data pipelines, Laravel/PHP services, React dashboards, Node.js microservices, and orchestration of platforms like WooCommerce, WordPress, and Shopify—always as part of a cohesive, well-architected system.
