I'm Dr. Teresa Vásquez (Dr. Vás) — a Nashville-based technologist and doctoral researcher working at the intersection of neurodiversity, technology, and workforce development. I founded Repped in Tech® and Repped Labs to build the kind of adaptive, data-driven environments I spent two decades wishing existed.

My core thesis: neurodivergent people's needs are environmental responses, not fixed traits. Build the right environment, and you unlock full agency, real self-advocacy, and work that actually scales.

I write code, build frameworks, mentor engineers, run a community, teach graduate students, and ship digital products. I'm also a NISE Fellow at Vanderbilt's Frist Center for Autism and Innovation, where I'm pursuing a Graduate Certificate in Neurodiversity Inspired Science & Engineering and an MS in Data Science.

This is the big part of what I do, and it's the part most people miss when they read my title.

I'm an award-winning videographer, photographer, and live stream producer. I've built broadcast-quality production stacks from scratch and run them live in front of audiences. Multimedia isn't a side skill, it's a core part of how I deliver work.

I'm also an expert at facilitating process, systems, and environment design — and I don't stop at the whiteboard. I implement, end to end, in both virtual and physical environments. That means I plan it, build it, configure it, light it, stream it, document it, and hand it off operating cleanly.

If you've ever watched a virtual event run smoothly while a physical room ran in parallel, with audio synced, attendees engaged, and zero scramble in the green room — that's the work.
