My journey into technology began in Washington, DC, in the late 1990s in the field of criminal justice research. At the time, reliable online resources were scarce, research databases were limited, and most of the tools we now take for granted simply did not exist. To do my job effectively, I had to teach myself how to build databases, organize large amounts of information, and create websites that made research easier to access and understand.  What started as a practical necessity soon became a lifelong passion.

I discovered that I loved designing systems that bring order to complexity and help people work more efficiently. Over the years, that passion evolved into a career focused on helping individuals and small businesses use technology with greater confidence and less frustration. Today, through Kristi Waits Tech, I help clients build simple, effective systems for organizing information, managing businesses, and creating a stronger online presence.
