My story · Laura Cantu, Founder and CEO

From tango floors to a temp job to AtsilTech.

No software existed for the work I was doing. So I built it.

Where it started · Early 2026

220 properties. Over 7,000 units, checked by hand.

Early 2026, a temp assignment in Newport Beach: auditing affordable housing files against HUD and California BOE requirements.

One field at a time, I learned every way a real person fills a form in wrong. That knowledge is the foundation of AtsilTech.

By March I was dancing tango in Buenos Aires and taking AI courses between practices.

The spark · April 2026

Seven hours. One working prototype.

On April 10, a seven-hour session with Drew Reeves at the University of Missouri’s Center for Transformative Technology (C4TT) ended with a working prototype. I’m proud to support C4TT as a local small business.
