I built my first internet product at the age of 16 and since I've been a lifelong entrepreneur, I've understood that tech is only useful when it solves deep, underlying, human problems. In turn, when we solve these problems, we should see a net positive impact on businesses or society.Technology has been a big part of my life. I grew up on the internet and as a curious adolescent, I absorbed everything like a sponge. I’m a self taught programmer. Hence, building internet products from a young age. I love everything about the internet. As I’ve matured, I've grown to realize that technology isn’t this mystical wand that fixes everything. Technology is simply a tool.As a development company, it’s our responsibility to ensure that the tools we create are ultimately useful. There is a lot of waste in tech. We see this in silicon valley. My philosophy has been to really understand the underlying problems that businesses encounter. If we are going to build something, it better solve the underlying issues or else we will not build a successful product. This philosophy is what birthed Tepia. At Tepia we believe in human-centered design. Our values that guide us as a company are accountability, compassion, authenticity, entrepreneurship, boundaries, and excellence. We believe that tech should serve people and businesses. It should be used as tool for those who want to make a positive difference in the lives of others.We’re not naive. We understand the need for profitability. But we want to work with those who think beyond their back pocket.With those who think of the impact that their technology will have on those who use it.We want to work with leaders trying to provide a human-first service, leaders who are trying to make their employees' lives easier and more fulfilling, leaders who want to be more efficient and sustainable.We believe that those who are armed with a good idea and the strength of will to see it through are those who make the world a better place.We want to help.What our clients say: "Response time, diligence, organization--everything has been fantastic."- President, Online Cigar Standard“We were impressed with Tepia's genuine passion for their craft." – CIO, Newport Medical Solutions"It was almost like I was part of their team, and that I could give constructive feedback." – Owner, Credit Card Security Tool"If I could afford an in-house team, it would probably be exactly like them." – Founder, Vokl TV
