About Us

Hi it’s Paul, the guy behind the magic.

For over two decades I have worked extensively in the technology and solutions engineering fields for companies ranging from start-ups, to multi-national corporations. From single entrepreneurs needing a web presence & some sound IT advice, to designing & implementing solutions for companies such as Walmart Canada, Chubb Security, Second Cup, AVIS/Budget, and Canpar Courier amongst countless others in the retail, food service, call center, and hospitality industries.

In this time I’ve seen countless businesses and entrepreneurs being left with terrible options, and especially horrible advice when it comes to their IT needs. For many people, they’re excellent at what they do, but simply don’t know how to harness the wide variety of solutions available when it comes to their IT needs. With non-existent budgets, and unsure where to turn, it’s easy to fall into traps or find yourself way over your head.

Pasha Solutions was founded to bring the the knowledge and resources from enterprise telecommunications and make it available to small businesses while still providing the direct and personalized white-glove style service and without the price tag. Utilizing the methods, experience, and deep insight gained working in enterprise and carrier grade environments, I implement these ideals into start-ups, charities, and especially small ethical businesses with a focus on locally owned and operated.

Who Am I?

I’ve always been fascinated by technology and finding creative solutions to problems that faced me. That curiosity has resulted in me taking a very logic based approach to many problems that arise, propelling me forward in ways I never imagined.

I grew up in a working class suburb of Toronto, Canada and moved to the big city in my early-20’s. The melting pot of cultures influenced me deeply & helped me grow as a person. My career started with Primus Telecommunications as a corporate analyst, and then to Accelerated Connections where I led a team of 16 analysts and ultimately ended up in Solutions Engineering building some damn cool stuff. When ACI got acquired by GTT, I moved my knowledge to Gazelle as their Senior Solutions Engineer where I was deeply involved in the technology behind mental health crisis lines, among building out telephony services for brands such as Ferrari, Maserati, & BMW. Today I’m focused on software integrations as a Solutions Engineer at ProntoForms where we’re building the brains behind web applications that are used millions of times daily.

Outside of my professional life, I hold a deep love of food and am an amateur cook inspired by traditional French & English cuisine and more rustic dishes. I keep active with hiking, beer-league hockey, co-ed baseball, and occasionally moonlight as a DJ across North America. I travel whenever possible, and love being immersed in unfamiliar cultures. In recent years I’ve become incredibly passionate about sustainability, equality, and continuously pursuing a more grass roots lifestyle with a focus on community driven ecosystems.

Core Values

My success has been overwhelmingly been driven by taking a no-nonsense approach to providing sound IT advice based these simple vales.

Transparency

Surprises are rarely fun when it comes to the IT world. That’s why I always provide honest and upfront answers and pricing. I offer transparent analysis, and whenever possible, a variety of solutions that can fit budgets both small and large. My job is to give you choice & sound advice allowing you to make an informed decision on what feels right. I’m here to help at every step.

Results

The job isn’t done until satisfaction has been achieved by all parties. Results are delivered through strong work ethic and basing my reputation on my word. I work closely with all clients to understand their needs, and exceed expectations. It’s about doing doing business the old fashioned way; on-time, on budget, and on spec.

Ethical Business

Whenever possible, I always work with a network of partners, vendors, and clients all with the same thing in mind; to provide an excellent product or service while treating everyone with respect. I believe in partnerships, fair-trade, and forming relationships with others that hold such strong moral and ethical backbones.
