Ask Maria (dot) Tech

About Us

I've got a decades long career in tech, from teaching to consulting to software engineering. I founded AskMaria.tech after being laid-off from Etsy after over 12 years of service there. My goal is to continue doing what I've always done in my career - help demystify technology for those who are ready, willing, and able to learn what they need in order to move forward. I've worked with people in underserved communities (ages ranging from teens to senior citizens), small businesses, and companies as large as Etsy. Not everyone needs to learn the same things, and not everyone learns the same way, but most people are not tech professionals and can use some help finding their way. I am level-headed consultant, patient teacher, and expert software engineer, and I know how to translate "Tech Jargon" into English for the layperson. I specialize in web and marketing tech - including popular CMS platforms such as Wordpress, Wix, and Squarespace, marketing solutions like FloDesk and ConvertKit, and more. I use my skill as a software engineer to provide customized solutions where necessary and am well versed in the Linux operating system, capable of handling deeper server administration and troubleshooting as well.
