- Meet Ricardo -
Ricardo's journey at Protek shows what's possible when curiosity meets opportunity. He started as a Level 0/1 tech, moved into Professional Services handling PC setups and network projects, and has since grown into a key role on our Centralized Services team.
Today, Ricardo focuses on tool management across our stack. That includes NinjaOne RMM management, Microsoft 365 standardization, Apple MDM with Addigy, and much more. In his words, "I like to be involved in it all!" That hands-on, all-in approach helps our team keep finding smarter, more efficient ways to serve our clients.
His love for technology goes back to his first family computer, when he started taking electronics apart to see how they worked. A few years ago, he decided to turn that passion into a career and hasn't looked back.
Asked what he loves about Protek, Ricardo points to three things: real growth for anyone willing to learn, the variety that comes with a constantly changing field, and genuine ownership. "They put trust in me and let me prove myself every day. It's a very rewarding job."
Outside of work, Ricardo has played soccer since he was 8, competing in local and out-of-state tournaments, and still plays today. He also stays active hiking and at the gym. And when he gets the chance, he's introducing his son to the retro games he grew up on.
Thank you, Ricardo, for everything you bring to the team! 🙌
