About
A small team solving real problems with modern technology. Based in Knoxville, Tennessee.
Where We Come From
Founded by William and Natalie Thompson, a husband-and-wife team who have been building technology together for nearly a decade. Before ShruggieTech, they ran an international consulting firm that delivered research to national governments and launch support for technology projects across multiple continents. That venture taught them how to deliver structured, high-stakes work under pressure. That same operational discipline now drives a broader mission: solving whatever technology problem stands between a business owner and their vision.

What We Believe
Ownership, not rentership.
We believe clients should own their digital assets. Every domain, every credential, every line of content. We earn revenue by building things that work, not by holding things hostage.
Specification-driven.
We write thorough specifications before we write code. This discipline produces better software, clearer communication, and the ability to scale through AI-augmented workflows.
Ship and iterate.
We do not hide behind process. We deliver working systems, measure their performance, and improve them continuously.
