Technology forged in fire

Born in emergency services

Inferno45 came out of the high-stakes world of emergency services, where reliability is not a feature. It is a necessity. Rich was a firefighter for almost 12 years and has worked in IT for more than two decades.

That shows up in the work: tailored IT for startups and larger organizations, infrastructure that is secure and scalable, and mobile apps built to hold up under pressure.
