Until you're ready
to reign.
TechRegent is a boutique technology consultancy for startups that mean to scale and for established companies modernizing for an AI-shaped future. Strategy, engineering and design under one steward. When the project closes, you own everything we built.
Four disciplines.
One steward.
Engineering shops build what they are told. A regent tells you what is worth building, then builds it, modernizes around it and designs the brand it ships under.
Regent Assessment
A fixed-fee technology and business diagnostic with a costed roadmap, delivered in two to three weeks. The front door to everything else.
Regent Build
MVPs, web and mobile applications, CRM platforms and client portals, engineered on a modern stack and designed to be owned by you.
Regent Modernize
Legacy modernization, workflow automation, AI enablement and cloud migration, sequenced so the business keeps running while it changes.
Regent Design
Product design and brand systems delivered inside technology engagements. Your product, and the identity it ships under.
Every project ends with you on the throne.
Most agencies and managed-service providers earn their money from dependency. We earn ours from competence. At the close of every engagement we run the Coronation, a complete and immediate transfer of ownership. No hostage systems, no mandatory maintenance, no strings.
- Every credential, admin account and API key is yours.
- Repositories and infrastructure are transferred to your accounts.
- Documentation is written for the next person, not for us.
- A working training session happens before we leave.
- Afterward, Regent On-Call bills hours only when you ask.
“We build it. You own it. Dependency is not our business model, and we put that in writing.”

How an engagement runs
Four stages, in order. The Assessment de-risks the decision, the project proves the craft, and the Coronation proves the promise.
Assess
Fixed-fee diagnostic of your stack, operations and readiness, with a costed, sequenced roadmap.
Build or modernize
The engagement itself: engineering and design sprints with weekly plain-language reporting.
The Coronation
Full ownership handover: credentials, repositories, documentation and training.
On request
Billable hours when you ask, or a month-to-month care plan. Either way you keep the keys.
Selected work
All work

A note from the founder
I spent several years running technology operations for a global education technology company spanning hardware and SaaS, where the automation systems my team built retained over $17 million in revenue. I started TechRegent because I kept watching small firms get sold dependency when what they needed was a finished system and the keys to it. That is the whole business model here. I hold an MBA in IT Management, a B.S. in Information Technology and 10 certifications across cloud, security, networking and service management, and I am the person you will work with from the first call to the handover.

Start with the Assessment.
Two to three weeks, one fixed fee, a roadmap you keep whether or not we work together again. If you would rather take two minutes first, the AI Readiness Check shows where an Assessment would begin.
