I'm Antonio Tarín, founder and CEO of Tótem Computer, a technology company in Monterrey, Mexico.
Tótem is the technology department for companies that don't have one. We provide on-demand Cloud PCs so people have machines wherever they are; we run the IT, infrastructure and support that keeps those machines working; and we build custom web, mobile and desktop software when what a company needs doesn't exist yet. One vendor, one contract, one person to call.
The part that matters most to me: we operate our own products in production, not just other people's. Tótem Cloud PC and DODO MX are ours — we carry the pager for both. That changes how we build for everyone else.
Since 2020 we've delivered more than 100 projects for 48 clients across six countries and three continents — Mexico, the United States, Argentina, Spain, Germany and Switzerland.
Before Tótem there were fifteen years of building: a stint at Apple, a long run of independent design and development work, hardware prototypes, student hackathons, and a lot of small businesses that needed a website. Some of it is in the Projects folder. Most of it taught me something.
