Our Story
Ryan Westerberg, founder of Path Technologies, and Tina Flower, Lead Software Engineer, first crossed "paths" at a local tech meetup in Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii, where they both reside. Ryan was an established software engineer who had been designing and building software since he was a pre-teen. Tina, a career transitioner, was just beginning to tinker, building skills and experience in a brand new field after working for years as a teacher. Ryan invited Tina to join him in doing some software development as a volunteer for Missing Pieces, a non-profit organization that provides services to families grieving the loss of a child.
Over time, this work evolved into a 5-year contract to build a complex custom platform for Missing Pieces. Ryan and Tina’s reputation for building quality products while providing excellent customer service quickly spread, and more requests for custom projects came through the pipeline. They are selective about the projects they take on and thoughtful in their vetting process. If a project is not the right fit, they will do their best to help you find something that is.
