13 years of building for scale
TechTide began in 2013 in the United States, founded by Ethan Johnson and two engineers with a simple belief: lean, hand-built software could outperform bloated platforms. From that three-person beginning, the company grew steadily, earning early enterprise trust and building a reputation for shipping fast without cutting corners.
Over the years, TechTide expanded its capabilities across web, backend, and mobile development, delivering more than 100 projects for clients across different markets. In 2019, the company opened its first office in Vietnam and moved core operations to Ho Chi Minh City, marking a new chapter shaped by Southeast Asia's growing engineering talent.
Today, after 13 years of building for scale, TechTide has evolved into a global studio of 100+ engineers, designers, and product specialists across two continents. Still founder-led and product-focused, we continue to build software that is fast, clean, reliable, and made to last.

Processes and approach
How do you gather and validate client requirements?
We begin with a scoping session to understand the client’s goals, users, workflows, constraints, and success criteria. Requirements are documented, reviewed with stakeholders, and validated through user research, prototypes, technical feasibility checks, and clear acceptance criteria before development begins.
How do you ensure alignment with client goals and business strategy?
We connect every feature decision to the client’s business objectives, target users, operational needs, and long-term product vision. During planning, we define priorities, success metrics, roadmap milestones, and technical choices that support measurable business outcomes, not just software delivery.
Which software development methodologies do you use (e.g., Agile, Waterfall, Scrum)?
We primarily use Agile and Scrum for iterative delivery, transparent collaboration, and faster feedback cycles. For projects with fixed scope or compliance-heavy documentation, we can combine Agile with structured Waterfall-style planning to match the client’s requirements and approval process.
How do you keep clients and stakeholders updated on project progress?
We keep clients informed through regular status updates, sprint reviews, progress reports, demos, and shared project management tools. Stakeholders receive visibility into completed work, upcoming tasks, blockers, timeline changes, and key decisions so there are no surprises during development.
How frequently do you hold check-in meetings or status updates?
The cadence depends on project size and client preference, but most projects include weekly check-ins and sprint-based reviews. For active or complex builds, we may schedule more frequent updates, such as twice-weekly standups or milestone meetings, to keep decisions moving quickly.
What quality assurance practices do you follow?
QA is integrated throughout the SDLC. We use requirement reviews, code reviews, unit testing, integration testing, functional testing, UI/UX checks, regression testing, security checks, bug reporting, and user acceptance testing to ensure the software is reliable, secure, and ready for deployment.
How do you identify and manage project risks?
We identify risks early during discovery, planning, architecture review, and sprint execution. Each risk is assessed by impact and likelihood, then managed through mitigation plans, clear ownership, timeline buffers, technical validation, stakeholder alignment, and continuous monitoring throughout the project.
What kind of support or maintenance do you offer after delivery?
After delivery, we offer ongoing maintenance based on the agreed SLA, including bug fixes, performance monitoring, security patches, version updates, preventive maintenance, corrective maintenance, and feature enhancements to keep the software stable, secure, and aligned with evolving business needs.
