01 / THE COMPANY

Connected software and data systems over an aerial landscape, linking mountain sensors, utilities and built infrastructure

The big picture.
And every detail.

View From Above brings together software and systems engineers with experience across technology and operations. We build comprehensive web applications, from front-end interfaces and back-end architecture to the systems and information that connect them. Across industries, we tackle complex challenges by understanding the work, connecting the pieces and engineering practical solutions. That same approach drives the Fire View applications and every new problem we take on.

FIRE VIEW / APPLICATION VIEWS
Fire View command interface with a map, multiple live video feeds, aircraft positions and team chat

A map-based operational picture with video and coordination tools together.

01 /

Live video

Multiple video feeds, sensor overlays and telemetry in a shared operational view.

02 /

Thermal & multispectral imagery

RGB and infrared imagery to understand heat sources and fire activity.

03 /

GIS mapping

Drawing, measurement, custom layers and coordinate sharing in the context of the incident.

04 /

Team collaboration

Chat, shared files and map annotations to help teams coordinate their work.

05 /

Flight operations

Live ADS-B aircraft tracking, flight paths and mission asset coordination.

06 /

Fire & weather data

Satellite fire detections, wind and temperature to add context to the picture.

03 / WHAT WE BRING

Technical depth.
Practical instincts.

We bring different kinds of experience to the same table. That helps us see connections, question assumptions and find a workable path through complexity.

ACROSS SYSTEMS. ACROSS INDUSTRIES.
01Systems engineering

Connect the pieces that need to work together. We approach systems as a whole: the data, the interfaces, the integrations and the people relying on them.

Systems designIntegrationData workflows
02Application engineering

We engineer applications with depth, from front-end interfaces and back-end services to data models and system integrations. We design the architecture around the complex requirements of the operational work it supports.

Application architectureFront-end + back-endSystem integration
03Operational perspective

Start with the realities of the work. Our operational experience helps us ask better questions and shape technology around the constraints teams face every day.

04 / HOW WE THINK

PERSPECTIVE BEFORE CODE

Start with the problem.
Build toward the answer.

01

Understand

Listen to the people doing the work. Learn the goals, constraints and friction points.

02

Connect

Look across systems and workflows. Find the relationships that change the picture.

03

Build

Turn that understanding into a focused, practical solution people can use.

04

Refine

Learn from real use. Keep improving the details that make the work easier.
