Introduction
Based in the heart of Clearwater, Florida, Dragonforged Systems was founded on a simple principle: technology should be a powerful, reliable asset, not a source of frustration. We are a locally-owned business dedicated to providing top-tier IT services and meticulously crafted custom computers for individuals and businesses throughout the Tampa Bay area. Whether we’re building a high-performance gaming PC or managing the technology that runs your company, we do it with passion, precision, and a commitment to your success.
Our Story
My journey in technology began in the early 90s, helping my father in his New York-based computer business. It was there I learned the fundamentals, building and managing computers from both a hardware and software perspective. This early passion grew into a professional career spanning over 20 years, where I’ve progressed from a systems builder through service delivery to high-level systems administration and engineering. Today, my expertise covers the full technological spectrum—from custom gaming PCs and business workstations to complex networking, servers, and cloud platforms like Azure Virtual Desktop.
Working for others provides a valuable perspective, and throughout my career, I often found that I understood the customer’s needs more deeply than the management I worked for. This realization led me to establish Dragonforged Systems—a company founded on my own principles, where understanding and serving the client’s best interest is always the top priority.
The name “Dragonforged Systems” is deeply personal. I’ve had a lifelong fascination with dragons, inspired by the strength, wisdom, honor, and magic associated with them. These are the very qualities I pour into my work. My online persona, “Dragnous,” is that of a dragon in human form, and I strive to bring that legendary level of dedication and power to every system I build and every client I support.
Our Mission & Philosophy
Our mission is to empower our clients through technology, delivering solutions that are not only powerful but also intuitive and reliable. We are guided by three core principles:
- Client Partnership: We believe in building long-term relationships. Your success is our success, and we act as a true partner, not just a service provider.
- Uncompromising Quality: From the components we choose for our custom builds to the proactive strategies we deploy for our business clients, we never cut corners.
