“Working with Tapiki for our Hawaii Food Industry Association and Made in Hawaii Festival websites hosting and maintenance has been an absolute game-changer. The ease with which we could get changes done to our site was remarkable. Tapiki made it incredibly simple to do site updates, ensuring our website always ran smoothly. They took care of all the plugin updates and security patches, which gave us peace of mind knowing our site was always secure.

Whenever we needed assistance with web-related issues, their team was prompt, professional, and extremely helpful. Tapiki’s services have truly made managing our website effortless. We couldn’t be happier with the results!”

“Brian is the classical coder turned manager, and that’s the best kind of engineering manager you will find. Far too often we have these slick talking MBAs who can’t get anything done because they don’t have the respect of their engineers.

Brian was one of the best client-side lead engineers I knew, before he moved into management where he built the best UI engineering team in the history of .Mac. Together with my team on the server side, we delivered one of the best web based email service back in Oct. 2005 and won many rave reviews. It was one of the high points of my career and I would work with Brian again on any project in a heartbeat.”

“As a strategy consultant working on cutting-edge NFT projects for clients, I rely on the technical expertise of developers familiar with blockchain technology to determine the feasibility of the idea.

Working with Tapiki for the Vanishing Murals dynamic NFT project which required the NFT artworks to change based on the Hawaii ocean water temperatures, Brian’s knowledge of blockchain architecture gave me the confidence to continue pursuing the concept and successfully launch the collection for the client!”

“Since 2013, we’ve partnered with Brian Dote and Tapiki, who truly understand our mission. For the Shinnyo Lantern Floating Hawaiʻi event, Tapiki has expertly managed our website year-round and adapted during the pandemic by creating an app with a beloved “float a virtual lantern” feature, keeping our community connected.

Brian is amazing to work with, incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and always available to provide technical guidance and advice. We are lucky to work with him and hope to continue our relationship with Tapiki for many years to come.”

“Brian is a fantastic UI engineer, a great manager and a fabulous person. I worked with Brian for 2 years and was sorry to lose access to him when I switched roles. Not only is he incredibly competent as an engineer, he’s an amazing team player — always helping to find creative ways to solve problems and going the extra mile to get the job done. His demeanor was positive even in the worst of fire drills and I never doubted that I could count on him. I will forever keep him in my address book in hopes of working with him again.”

“Working with Tapiki was an absolute pleasure. Their deep understanding of blockchain technology allowed me to create a work of art that had a real world environmental impact ( to help protect our coral reefs). With Brian’s vision and knowledge, our team was able to see the possibilities of integrating the blockchain with art and science. It ultimately resulted in an innovative endeavor and collaboration I am so proud of – the Vanishing Murals NFT Project.”

“I can’t even begin to say enough to properly quantify the knowledge, value and elevation of resources and capabilities that Brian Dote has imbued into my life and business ventures. He is a friend, mentor, guide, sherpa and guru to myself and many, many others. He is dogged and focused in every one of his projects, and yet wields his knowledge with the care and precision of a master craftsman. The very fact that we have the caliber of folks like Brian here in Hawaii should give us all hope for a brighter future ahead.”
