Our Story

Originally named for “Ockham’s Razor”, Razer Technology uses the “e” as a play on words. The “e” means we like to keep our engineering easy. Technology, product design, engineering, and all the things that go with it can be complicated. So why make it harder? Ockham’s Razor is the principal on which “KISS” is founded. Keeping things simple and easy is at the heart of what good technology leadership is all about.

History says that William of Ockham actually meant that the best explanation is comprised of as few elements as are required to make the explanation fully viable. KISS can often be mis-interpreted as “we should simplify things”. That is only the case if simplifying things doesn’t break what’s required in the first place!

RazerTech was founded in 2006 after Tom concluded a stint of three years with eBay managing the Half.com site as CTO. The years spent with eBay brought Tom his foundational experience in e-Commerce and payments at scale. His love of software development and education in software engineering led him to start RazerTech as a software solutions company.
