About

Phidev

Phidev is an El Paso technology and strategy studio that develops custom software, websites, e-commerce systems, brand programs and digital products for businesses. The company operates as Phidev Incorporated from 500 W. Overland Avenue, Suite 250W, El Paso, Texas 79901. Current project work includes software development, brand and content strategy, e-commerce and custom business technology. Published examples include work for Texas Medical Care Plans, Dermabon, Audisatt and Western Playland. Phidev's approach centers on designing technology around the way a client actually operates rather than forcing every organization into the same software model. Its current site also publishes ongoing articles by Ares Saldaña on technology, artificial intelligence and business systems. The site's copyright history runs from 2008 through 2026, and LinkedIn independently identifies the company as founded in 2008. The reviewed first-party pages do not explicitly label Saldaña as company founder, so this update does not add founder metadata.

Phidev is a digital agency headquartered in El Paso, Texas, founded in 2008 by Ares Saldaña. The company describes itself as a technology and strategy studio, working closely with clients to design and build custom technology, AI implementations and digital strategy tailored to how each business actually operates. Phidev's service lines include web design, mobile app development, branding, custom software development and digital marketing, with a particular focus on building systems that integrate cleanly with a client's existing operations rather than forcing off-the-shelf solutions. The agency has worked with a range of clients including Jarritos, the Mexican soda brand sold in more than 45 countries, and TMCP, a Texas health insurance agency that grew from a one-person operation to a team of dozens. Phidev built what is described as Mexico's first automated audit SaaS system in collaboration with an accounting firm co-founder. Saldaña, an MIT-educated founder, remains active in El Paso's civic and business community through fellowship programs focused on regional economic development. Phidev operates as a largely remote team with an anchor office on West Overland Avenue in El Paso, alongside occasional in-person meeting availability in Orlando and Amsterdam.
