Hello, I’m Teylor Feliz—a seasoned Full-Stack Engineer, UX Designer, and Business Strategist with a rich background of over 20 years in the dynamic world of Information Technology. I founded my company, Haketi, to help businesses transform their digital presence by creating products that are not only powerful but also intuitive and user-friendly.
Originally from the Dominican Republic and now based in Lafayette, Louisiana, I consider myself a full-stack generalist. I’ve held various roles during my career, including Software Developer, UX Designer, Database Administrator, and Data Analyst. This diverse experience gives me a comprehensive understanding of how to create a digital product, from coding to user interaction.
A Journey Forged by Experience
I consider myself a “full-stack generalist,” which to me means I see the whole picture. Throughout my career, I’ve worn many hats: Software Developer, UX Designer, Database Administrator, Data Analyst, and certified Scrum Product Owner. This diverse experience is backed by a unique blend of academic credentials, including an MBA with a focus on Information Systems from Emporia State University, a Master’s in Information Technology with a concentration in Web Design & Web Development from the University of Denver, and a Bachelor’s in Applied Sciences from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. This background allows me to bridge the critical gap between business goals, technical execution, and user-centric design. I communicate effectively with the boardroom, engineering team, and end-users to ensure our solutions are both technically strong and aligned with your goals.
More Than a Developer: An Educator and Leader
Beyond my work at Haketi, I am passionate about sharing knowledge. I teach UX Design and Web/Software Development courses at the Academy of Art University and the University of Denver. For me, teaching is the ultimate test of understanding, and it constantly pushes me to refine my own methods and stay at the forefront of the industry. I share my thoughts on technology, business, and design on my blog, Admix Web, which I started in 2008.
My expertise is backed by continuous learning and industry-recognized certifications:
- Certified Scrum Product Owner with multiple Product Management certifications.
- Numerous certificates in Business and Data Analysis.
- Proud member of the Sigma Delta Pi and Beta Gamma Sigma honor societies.
I am fluent in English and Spanish and am always working on expanding my horizons. At the moment, I am taking classes of Portuguese (Oi!) and I love reading older computer programming books.
