Mysa sells to consumers, utilities, and Fortune 500 companies, and have raised over $40M in private investment along the way. We run the business from St. John’s, Newfoundland — proving you don’t need to be in a tech hub to build something world-class.

I’m Tracey DeLeeuw, founder of SheSmartTech.com — a platform dedicated to helping busy families and seniors create smarter, safer, more balanced lives through strategic smart home, IoT, and AI solutions. After more than 35 years in technology, my passion is turning enterprise-grade systems into everyday tools that genuinely improve home life. My career began at the very start of eCommerce in Canada, helping pioneer online business infrastructure when most companies still relied on fax machines. I then led groundbreaking smart city IoT initiatives with the City of Toronto and consulted across North America, designing interconnected systems that improved everything from energy grids to emergency services. These large-scale projects taught me how powerful connected technology can be, but also how critical it is to build it for real people, not just corporations. That’s why I launched SheSmartTech: to take the complexity out of smart homes and make it accessible to those who need it most. We serve women juggling careers, kids, and aging parents, along with seniors who want to stay independent longer without sacrificing safety. I’ve published multiple books, including Smart Home Security for Beginners and the Seniors Smart Tech Guide, plus countless tutorials and short videos that break down intimidating topics like automation, AI prompt building, and privacy safeguards. I’m especially passionate about using AI as a practical everyday helper. I teach clients how to leverage ChatGPT to secure their homes, maintain healthy routines, and even build custom smart automations that reduce mental load. Because a truly smart home doesn’t just run lights and thermostats — it actively supports the emotional and logistical chaos so many families face. Above all, I believe technology should give us back what matters most: time, peace of mind, and the ability to simply enjoy being with the people we love. Whether it’s through a personalized automation routine, a carefully secured camera system, or a voice assistant that understands more than commands, I help people create homes that quietly have their backs so life feels easier, safer, and a little more joyful every day.
