01 · Meet Abe Garcia
20+ years of enterprise IT, now working for you.
Before founding BitNetica, I spent nearly 20 years at a high-tech print manufacturing and fulfillment company, including 16 years as its Director of IT. I owned the full technology lifecycle and built enterprise-level infrastructure most small businesses never have access to.

Dates from Abe’s résumé
Infrastructure that had to keep working.
It supported pharma, banking and accounting clients, with SOC 2 compliance and hardening work to meet their audits, and the backend for 120+ client websites.
16 years
as Director of IT at a company of about 200 people
100+
virtual servers in a VMware datacenter, with a remote recovery site
200+
desktops, servers and storage systems upgraded across repeated refresh cycles
Three events that tested it
The 2008 recession
Disaster recovery built on Veeam backups to tape and cloud, so the business could recover when budgets were tight.
A corporate acquisition
New users and systems onboarded while the existing network kept running and stayed secure.
The 2020 remote shift
Legacy Citrix replaced with a secure RDP gateway and Cisco Duo multi-factor sign-in, so a whole company could work from home.
From the newsroom to the server room
Production, design, systems and development. That mix is why BitNetica treats IT, web presence and marketing as one coherent whole instead of a pile of disconnected vendors.

Production
In newspaper production I worked as both Design Manager and Systems Manager, bridging creative and technical operations every day.
2
Systems
Moving into IT, I went from system administrator to Director of IT, running everything that plugs in.
3
Development
Alongside that role I studied web development, so websites were never an afterthought.
