As Oscar Cortez, HYFM's director of technology, aptly puts it, "HelpYouFind.Me is committed to building tools that bridge the gap between security and usability." With Footsteps, we've responded to the dynamic nature of modern life, where users are constantly moving but want to keep their loved ones close in case an emergency arises.
