About NextDoor Tech

Bringing compassion and expertise to tech support for seniors

Stephanie Soto

Founder & Technology Educator

My Story

With over 13 years of software engineering experience across many industries, I've always had a passion for patiently teaching people about technology.

My move into tech was a career change that transformed my life for the better, and I've always wanted to spread that knowledge and empowerment to others. I focus on teaching seniors about their own technology because it can make life so much easier and more enjoyable.

I understand that sometimes technology doesn't behave correctly, which can be frustrating and annoying. That's where I come in—to help you navigate those challenges with patience, understanding, and expertise.

Our Mission

"At NextDoor Tech, we believe that technology should be a bridge, not a barrier. Our mission is to empower older adults to navigate the digital world with confidence, comfort, and clarity.

Everyone deserves to thrive in the digital age — and we're here to make that possible."

To become the trusted partner for older adults seeking to embrace technology, offering tailored in-person support that fosters learning, trust, and digital empowerment.
