Our Story

Technology that serves you.

Distributed Technologies is a boutique technology consultancy built on a radical premise: your tech should work for you — not for the companies selling it to you.

Seattle, WA Virtual Worldwide Privacy-First
"In an industry that profits from confusion and lock-in, we take a different approach."

Our Mission

We exist to bridge the gap between the technology you need and the expertise required to use it well. That means taking the time to understand your goals, assessing your real situation, and delivering solutions that genuinely fit — not whatever's easiest to sell.

We educate as we implement, we recommend tools based on merit rather than commercial relationships, and we build relationships that last beyond any single engagement.

What We Stand For

Our Values

Four principles that shape every recommendation we make and every relationship we build.

Privacy-First

Your data belongs to you. We advocate for privacy-respecting tools, local data ownership, and transparent security practices in everything we recommend.

Education-Focused

We don't just fix problems — we teach you to understand them. Every engagement includes hands-on guidance so you can make informed decisions independently.

Vendor-Agnostic

No brand loyalty, no undisclosed financial relationships. We evaluate every tool on its merits, and where we earn affiliate commissions, those are fully disclosed and never change which tools we recommend.

Long-Term Partnership

Technology evolves constantly. We build ongoing relationships through retainer and subscription models, ensuring your technology grows alongside you.

Our Model

Why a Tech Concierge?

Think of us as your personal technology advisor — someone who knows your setup, understands your preferences, and is always a call away. Unlike big-box support desks or generic IT firms, we build deep, trusted relationships with each client.

Whether you need a one-time privacy audit or an ongoing technology partnership, we scale our involvement to match your needs. For individuals, that might mean quarterly check-ins and device updates. For organizations, it might mean acting as your fractional CTO, guiding technology strategy from the ground up.

  • ✓ One-time engagements & project work
  • ✓ Monthly & quarterly retainer partnerships
  • ✓ Fractional CTO & ongoing advisory
  • ✓ Always begins with a free consultation

How We Work

Our Approach

01

Listen First

Every engagement starts with an honest conversation. We ask about your goals, frustrations, and current setup, not to qualify you as a customer but to genuinely understand where we can help.

02

Assess & Recommend

We evaluate your existing technology, identify gaps, and build a clear picture of what's working and what isn't, then recommend a path forward with honest trade-offs laid out plainly.

03

Implement & Teach

We build and configure your solution while walking you through every step. The goal isn't dependency — it's understanding. You should know how your technology works.

04

Stay Available

Technology doesn't stay static, and neither do we. Through ongoing partnerships, we're here as your setup evolves: new devices, new threats, new goals, new questions.

The Person Behind It

Our Founder

DT

Distributed Technologies was built on more than a decade spent where emerging technology meets real-world complexity, across cybersecurity, payments, secure platforms, and AI. The constant has been translating sophisticated technology into outcomes that genuinely serve the people relying on it.

That experience crystallized a clear point of view: the most important question isn't which tools to adopt but how to adopt them wisely. That means understanding trade-offs, preserving human oversight, and building systems that serve your goals. Today, that standard drives work in AI strategy, privacy-first technology design, and fractional CTO consulting, a role that in practice spans both the technology execution of a CTO and the information governance of a CIO. The aim is simple: enterprise-grade thinking for the organizations that need it most.

Cybersecurity — Threat modeling, identity and authentication, and hardware-backed security for products that protect sensitive data.
Secure Platforms — Product leadership for secure communication and client-facing systems that let organizations collaborate safely around sensitive data.
Payments — Hands-on experience building payment products, from mobile payments to merchant onboarding and verification.
Quality & Release — Release leadership for large-scale software, with documented testing and the discipline to hold back what isn't ready.
AI Safety & Evaluation — Model evaluation, safeguard testing, and practical guidance on adopting AI safely.
