Founder's Story

I arrived in the USA from Cuba over 20 years ago with just $100, a love for technology, and a lot of uncertainty. Leaving behind family and everything familiar was tough. I wondered if I’d ever get to work in tech here.
After some grueling early jobs, I landed a software engineering role in Maryland, my dream come true. But the Dotcom crash hit, and I was laid off the day before Christmas. That moment taught me to shape my own future.

 

While job hunting, a friend asked me to help a small business set up 10 computers, a firewall, and a T1 line. I did it to help out a friend, not expecting payment, until they asked for an invoice. That spark led to more projects, and soon, I founded Pronto Tech, almost by accident. That experience shaped our mission: we’re here to help your business succeed, prioritizing your needs with simple, honest IT solutions. 

 

At Pronto Tech, we skip the tech jargon and offer clear pricing. Unlike other IT providers who charge onboarding fees and lock you into long-term contracts with early termination penalties, we don’t. Why? Because we’re confident in earning your trust every month with reliable, hassle-free IT support, so you can focus on growing your business, not wrestling with technology.

 

Many of our clients came through DMV community ties, especially in construction and healthcare. Helping a local clinic with HIPAA compliance years ago led to referrals from other doctors. We found that clear communication and dependable service work for everyone, contractors, medical offices, government contractors, and more.

 

Being local to the DMV is our edge. Unlike out-of-state providers who keep clients waiting, we’re there fast, whether replacing a hard drive, setting up a router, or securing your network. In over 15 years, we’ve never lost a customer file, thanks to our focus on robust backups and cybersecurity.

 

Technology changes: cloud, remote work, cyber threats, but our promise doesn’t. Pronto Tech proudly serves over 150 small businesses across the DMV with straightforward, affordable IT solutions.
