Tech Smart Santa Barbara
Your Local Technology Partner
Hey there! We're Brian and Drew
Your local tech guys and founders of Tech Smart Santa Barbara
Meet Brian and Andrew, two Santa Barbara natives who’ve
spent their careers making technology work for some of the biggest companies around. Brian was the go-to guy for
technical support and project coordination at major media and entertainment companies, solving everything from executive-level challenges to company-wide implementations.
Meanwhile, Andrew was out there transforming businesses
through technology partnerships at places like OpenTable and Lyft, and even helping build some pretty cool robotics and AI companies.
Over a local brew with some friends, they realized something: while they’d been helping massive companies harness the power of technology, local businesses were left piecing together their own solutions. Why should the big guys have all the good stuff? That’s when it clicked. What if they combined Brian’s technical expertise with Andrew’s business transformation experience to bring that same level of technology support to local businesses? No more struggling with IT issues alone, no more settling for patched together solutions at high costs, and definitely no more tech jargon.
