Meet Angel Hernandez | Software Engineer & Founder of A&F Web Dev

We had the good fortune of connecting with Angel Hernandez and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Angel, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
My thought process behind starting A&F was born from my experience at a large web hosting company. During my time there, I noticed a common practice of using cookie-cutter templates for all their clients’ websites. It bothered me that hard-working business owners weren’t getting the attention and custom solutions they deserved. Witnessing this inspired me to create something better, where I could provide businesses, both small and large, with personalized and tailor-made websites.
Now, as the founder of A&F I take immense pride in serving business owners by prioritizing their needs and delivering bespoke web design and development services. It brings me joy to see their businesses thrive with websites that truly reflect their unique identities and offerings. I am grateful for the opportunity to make a positive impact in the digital landscape and continue to empower entrepreneurs across the valley with the online presence they deserve.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
My journey in building A&F Web Dev started with a passion for technology and web development, driving me to pursue a degree in Computer Science at Arizona State University, where I was fortunate enough to receive a full-ride scholarship sponsored by Jeff Bezos and Bob Parson.
After graduating, I launched my career as a software engineer in the field of reliability analysis, gaining valuable insights into building robust, efficient, and secure systems. It taught me the importance of delivering dependable solutions that users can trust. I’m immensely proud to have gained expertise in ensuring systems function flawlessly, which has now become a cornerstone of the services I offer to my clients.
Applying the principles and experience from my career, I meticulously craft websites prioritizing design, user-experience, and reliability for my customers. By incorporating my expertise in reliability analysis into web development, I deliver websites that not only impress visually but also perform optimally and consistently.
My experience in web development allows me to create top-notch designs that captivate users and leave a lasting impression. I understand the significance of an intuitive and enjoyable user experience, and I take great pride in achieving this for my clients.
What I want the world to know about A&F Web Dev is that I’m driven by a passion for excellence. My dedication to crafting unique, customer-focused, and reliable websites stems from a genuine desire to empower our clients with the best possible online presence. I’m committed to delivering exceptional web solutions that not only meet but exceed expectations. From the foundation of my education to the experiences gained as a software engineer, I bring a unique blend of technical expertise and creative flair to every project.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If you only had a week, you wouldn’t even get through half of what Arizona has to offer, but here are some must-do activities: Sedona, with its beautiful red rocks and pleasant weather, is a must-visit. Prescott and Jerome also have some cool spots you can’t miss. Payson offers amazing trails and great views. And of course, if you come to Arizona and don’t go to the Grand Canyon, did you even come to Arizona? In the Phoenix area, you’ll find amazing food, tasty coffee, and exciting entertainment. To balance out all the delicious desserts and snacks in the valley, you can also go on some super fun hikes like the classic A-mountain, Superstition Mountains, and Flat Iron if you’re brave enough. Overall, Arizona is a great place to explore, and I’m so glad I get to call it home.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I am deeply grateful for the unwavering support, encouragement, and love from my family and friends throughout my journey as founder of A&F Web Dev.
Their belief in my abilities and their steadfast presence during the highs and lows of entrepreneurship have been instrumental in my success. Their constructive feedback, valuable advice, and mentorship have nurtured my growth, both personally and professionally, enabling me to provide my customers with the best possible product and service.
To all those who have been part of my journey, I extend my heartfelt gratitude. Your contributions have played a pivotal role in shaping A&F Web Dev and have propelled me to where I stand today. Thank you for being the foundation of my success and the driving force behind my aspirations!
