The studio that writes first.
TigerPoint Technologies is a small development studio working with businesses and startups across Long Island and New York City. Custom web applications, business websites, Shopify storefronts, and mobile apps, each one planned on paper before any paid work starts.
A studio of one, on purpose.
I'm Luis Hernandez. TigerPoint is a studio of one on purpose: the person who writes your plan is the person who builds it.
I started it in East Meadow to build websites and software the way small businesses on Long Island deserve: planned on paper first, priced honestly, and shipped to production instead of left half finished.
The same standard goes into a four-page website as into a client portal. Scope, price and next steps go down on paper before any paid work starts, and when a project isn't a fit, I say so early.
When AI makes a build clearer or faster, I use it. When it doesn't, I leave it out.

Working products, not vague promises.
The mission
Help smaller teams turn ideas into working products and the workflow improvements around them. That can mean a web application, a business website, a Shopify storefront, or a mobile app. Whatever shape it takes, the work has to answer a clear business need. Trends don't get budgets here.
The approach
Start with the smallest useful next step. Scope, price, and what happens next go down on paper before any paid work begins. That paper is the written plan: free, and in your inbox within 48 hours of your request. When the honest first step is smaller than you expected, the plan says so.
How the studio works.
Three habits, kept on every project.
-
Business-first framing
Projects start from the workflow, the customer moment, or the product gap. The technology comes second, and that includes AI: it earns its place when it makes the job clearer, faster, or easier to run, and it stays out when it doesn't.
-
Visible work
You'll know what's being built, why it matters, what's included, and what isn't. Updates arrive in plain language, written so you can forward them to people who never touch the code.
-
Production-minded delivery
Launch isn't the finish line. Every build plans for handoff: documentation your team can actually read, credentials in your hands, and a support path for when monthly improvement makes sense.
We'd rather say no early.
A small studio keeps its promises by choosing its work carefully. The sorting happens early, and you get it in writing.
When we're a fit
- You want practical implementation: something designed, built, and shipped.
- You run a smaller business or a startup, and the software has a job to do.
- You'd rather read a written plan than sit through a sales pitch.
When we're not
- Large enterprise transformations.
- Commodity managed IT.
- Projects nobody plans to ship.
When a request belongs somewhere else, the plan says so early, in writing, before it costs you anything. We'd rather lose a project than waste your quarter.
