I'm Nathan Coons. I've spent 10 years building and running backend systems. Quiet State is my consulting practice.
I build the system a business runs on: intake, workflow, records, reporting, and the integrations underneath. The starting point is usually spreadsheets, email, and a few systems that don't talk to each other.
Business platforms
I build the platform a company runs its operations in, from intake through reporting.
Systems integration
I build API integrations between business systems, including ones with no supported connector.
Third-party data feeds
I pull data from third-party feeds into the systems that need it.
Websites and brand
I build the website, and the brand around it when that's part of the job.
Legacy data liberation
I get data out of closed legacy systems and into tools the rest of the business can use.
Listing Workbench
A platform real estate agents use to prepare and run a listing: MLS search, comparable-sales reports, net proceeds estimates, document checklists and flyers. Built in Django for multiple offices.
Runway
A cash look-ahead that replaced a budgeting spreadsheet, with income, bills and plans on one timeline. Built on Cloudflare Workers and D1.
Piggy
A family bank. Kids earn money for jobs, the parents act as the bank, and each kid sees their balance in a way that fits their age. Built on Cloudflare Workers and D1.
