TechXcellent was founded in July 2001 by a team of engineers who have worked together for many years holding positions at major consumer electronics and computer corporations. This cohesive and successful team can bring more than 25 combined years of software, hardware, and embedded technology experience to your project, and knows first hand how to take an idea and turn it into a shipping product. We believe that the best products are built by those who use them. At TechXcellent we build products that we ourselves want to develop and use. We take great pride in seeing the products we build being appreciated by your customers and that's reflected in our work. TechXcellent also self-funds internal projects that are of interest to us. Some of these become products in their own right and are spun-off from TechXcellent, but they are all used as internal training projects for our engineering team. Our engineers use these projects to gain experience in new areas and to practice their communication skills and teamwork. All of our internal projects are built to the same high standards that we pass on to our customers.
