The team behind Ant Technology
Deep engineering experience at every level. We bring business understanding, technical leadership and hands-on delivery to every project.
Founder & CEO
Kevin brings more than twenty years of software engineering and more than ten years in healthcare IT, including leading enterprise data services at a North Carolina managed care organization.
Ant Technology is where he applies that experience for small businesses and founders who need something built properly the first time.
Chief Technology Officer
Abiezer brings extensive experience in software architecture, engineering leadership, and custom application development. His background spans laboratory systems, telecommunications, and public-sector software, with a focus on reliable applications, maintainable architecture, and disciplined delivery.
At Ant Technology, he guides technical direction and helps turn business requirements into practical software.
I’m Kevin Cruzado. I’ve been building software for more than twenty years, and leading engineering teams for more than five.
More than ten years of that has been in healthcare IT, including leading enterprise data services at a North Carolina managed care organization. That has meant owning enterprise applications, the integration layer that moves data between them, and the CI/CD infrastructure that other teams ship through, in .NET and Angular, on Azure DevOps, against SQL Server, in an industry where a wrong number in a report is a compliance problem, not a bug ticket.
That environment shapes how I build. I think about data lineage, audit trails, authentication, and what happens when a system fails, because in healthcare those aren’t optional. I design for the next developer rather than the next deadline: reusable templates, standard project structure, quality gates in the pipeline, and documentation that survives my involvement.
I’ve also built my practice around AI-assisted development, deliberately rather than casually. Used properly, with real review and real quality gates, it has changed what a team can deliver. I’ve shipped production services in weeks that would conventionally have taken months, and that capability is now central to how I scope and price work.
Ant Technology is where I apply all of it for founders and small businesses who need a real website or application rather than a template, built by people who know what it takes to maintain code for years.
Kevin’s approach
Most of what I’ve built in my career, I or my team went on to own for years. That changes how you write it. I don’t ship something I wouldn’t want to inherit.
You should be able to take what I build to another developer without a rescue project. Standard structure, real documentation, no clever tricks that only make sense to me.
Audit trails, proper authentication, data you can reconcile, and failure handling that doesn’t lose records. Most small-business software skips all of this. It’s the first thing that hurts when you grow.
AI-assisted development has genuinely changed how quickly good software can be delivered. I use it deliberately, with the same review and quality gates I’d apply to anything else, so you get speed without inheriting a mess.
Why “Ant”?
Ants work as a team, build systems that last, and carry many times their own weight. That’s Ant Technology: an organized team doing heavy lifting for our clients, so your website, marketing and software keep working while you run your business.
