Hi, my name is Cyrus. From a very early age I have had an unrelenting passion for technology and how we can use it to help make our world a better place.
After joining the local chamber of commerce, I started helping fellow business owners who then regularly sought out my help with their technology service needs. I thrived on the opportunities to learn new approaches for utilizing Information Technology (IT) to positively impact the direction of their business.
As my skills continued to grow, I earned a record of trust, delivering robust enterprise class infrastructure and solutions within the retail, high tech, engineering, financial, legal, insurance, medical, and manufacturing sectors. I partner with senior management, and collaborate at all levels from the boardroom, to technical specialists, to the end user, and consistently deliver profitable and productive results by aligning IT with business goals.
From designing data centers to managing projects; from product life-cycle management to streamlining a document management system; from disaster recovery planning to risk management; from programming an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system to programming a universal remote; I can help.
