I.T. & Cybersecurity Expert
Meet Roberto
Hello! I’m Roberto Espinoza. I’ve been working in IT and cybersecurity for over 37 years. I started young back in 1986, and I never left.
I’m sure you’ll agree that a lot has happened in technology since the 80s. It’s fair to say that I’ve developed a deep understanding of the ever-changing technology landscape and how to apply it best to maximize our clients’ businesses productivity and profit.
I’m passionate about staying current on the latest technologies and security measures so that I can provide valuable IT solutions to the growing small businesses that hire us.
I aim to continue using sound IT and cybersecurity benchmarks to positively impact the day-to-day and, ultimately, the bottom line of our small business clients.
