Behind the Name: Teknyka
The word teknyka (which sounds like "technical" without the L) is short for technology in Russian. I named my company Teknyka because my father, who was a great source of inspiration and support for me, used that word to describe the first computer our family ever owned.
I grew up in a traditional Russian Old Believer home. My parents, who had immigrated to the US in the 60's, were very old fashioned and did not own a lot of technology. We didn't eat at restaurants and we didn't own a TV. I spent evenings playing outside, reading books, and taking apart all the electronics that I could get my hands on.
I was 8 years old when my father brought home our family’s first computer. It was a Packard Bell 486DX2, running Windows 3.11 with a 66Mhz processor. It only had 4MB of RAM and a 500MB Hard Drive — that's about 1/100th of the processing power of computers today!
I fell in love with the new computer and started learning everything I could learn about it. My father encouraged me in the process because he had the foresight that computers would soon be a big part of our daily lives. I did my homework, played games, programmed on it, took it apart and upgraded it. Then I started teaching my friends how to use computers. As my skill set grew, I started fixing computers for everyone I knew. Computers became my hobby and my passion and that is why I continue to work on them to this day.
From the Beginning: My Career Path
In the 1990's I was building my own computers, fixing my friends computers, playing video games, and taking programming classes. In 1998 I worked for a gaming company as a programmer. In the year 2000 I joined Fry's Electronics as a "cage monkey" (the person in charge of expensive computer parts secured in a cage) and then later as a test bench technician in the returns department. There I learned a lot about computer parts, their specifications, and how they work best together. Soon after I decided that I needed to learn even more, so I went to college and earned two Associates Degrees in Information Technology and Network Administration. In the process I also obtained multiple tech industry certifications.
In 2005 I started working at US Bank as an IT Generalist and Network Support Technician. There I helped support over one thousand users at the US Bancorp Tower in Downtown Portland. I also supported the surrounding US Bank branches and worked on various projects all across the country.
At US Bank I honed my skills on software support, desktop support, printers, scanners, fax machines, telephone systems, network support, and server maintenance. I also worked on large, long term projects such as mergers, acquisitions, and new branch installations all over the country. In the process I got a deep understanding of corporate strategies and the success you can have when you work on something that is carefully planned and executed. Success in my daily work required good communication, problem solving, and time management skills. Most importantly, it helped me build my customer service skills (you know, the kind "geeks" have a reputation for NOT having). My customers loved my work and management praised me with great performance reviews. I quickly became one of the most skilled technicians on staff.
A New Business: Teknyka Tech Support
Aside from having a good career, I always enjoyed helping others with their computer problems. On my spare time I fixed computers for family, friends, and business acquaintances. I started dreaming about running my own computer repair shop and began drawing up a business plan. In 2008 I established Teknyka Tech Support and was officially running my own business.
The computer repair business was off to a good start. We began supporting small businesses and residential customers in the Canby area and soon needed an office to for in-shop repairs. Fortunately we had a large garage facing the busy Barlow Road so we converted it into a computer repair shop. We designed and built the shop from the ground up to be an efficient workspace in which we are capable of repairing dozens of computers at one time. The repair bench is now consistently filled with computers!
Over the years our business has grown large very quickly. We continue to grow and prosper with great word of mouth from our wonderful customers. We love the work we do and take great pleasure in providing quick, honest, high quality repair services. Our business is committed to supporting you, our customers, far into the future!

I also needed a printer so he offered to find an inexpensive one for me, then he brought it to my house and installed it for me.

“I have known Gabe for several years. He was a patient of mine since 2004 and became our computer support person in 2006. My first impression of Gabe was his calm, straight forward approach to solving problems and his honesty.
We have had several computer support people over the last 20 years and what makes Gabe unique is his non-judgmental, caring demeanor, his clear explanation of what is wrong, how it will be fixed, and what we can do to prevent the issue in the future. He explains everything in laymen's terms. He is reliable and dependable. When we call for help he resolves the problem right away, over the phone and/or using remote control software, and if needed he come visits us on-site.
He has been very supportive and helpful in keeping our computers operating properly on a regular basis. He constantly monitors our computers to make sure they're in good health and tries to resolve problems before they occur. And most importantly data is backed up daily and our network is kept secure.
