My name is Derek Galen, and I'm the founder of Open InfoTech Solutions, based in New Braunfels, Texas. I built my first website professionally in 1995 and have been passionate about software development ever since. Over the decades, I've assembled a dedicated team, and together we bring a long history of IT expertise to every project—covering network infrastructure, custom software development, cloud migrations, and automation.
One of my greatest joys is helping small businesses use technology to compete with larger firms. We've delivered projects for clients across a variety of industries—including nonprofits, auto repair, payroll services, property management, construction, and fire safety compliance. Though I started this journey alone, it's never been a one-person show. I'm fortunate to have had talented employees and business partners supporting our mission, and we pride ourselves on a warm, team-oriented approach to solving problems.
I'm also committed to staying current with industry best practices. Over the years, I've earned several professional certifications, including AWS Cloud Certifications, Microsoft Certified Professional, and Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) certification. These credentials reflect our dedication to professional excellence and continuous learning, giving you confidence that your technology needs are in capable hands.
Located in the beautiful hill country of South Texas, New Braunfels, is a growing community that embodies the spirit of the companies we like to help.
