The Story Behind Dazzotek

My name is Aaron Randazzo. The story behind my creation of Dazzotek is one of serendipity. In 2005, I began producing music using Fruity Loops Studio 5 on the family computer. At the time, I was savvy with troubleshooting on the user end in Windows 95 through Windows XP, with basic hardware troubleshooting knowledge. On multiple occasions during my early music production journey, many important music production and media files were lost due to hardware malfunctions. After paying technicians to recover the data and solve the underlying problem, I remained in the same boat, only with less money to show for it.

Determined to prevent repeated data loss, I began a dedicated pursuit to rise above future hardware problems by becoming more knowledgeable. In 2009, I committed to 48 hours of volunteering for Free Geek (a non-profit computer recycling and education program). The original goals of this pursuit were to protect my music career from further loss, and to have a music production PC to call my own. After hours of disassembling and building computers, as well as experimenting with the PC I had acquired from Free Geek, I quickly found that my knowledge was becoming an asset. For several years, relatives and friends would reach out for help with their PC, as well as having custom PCs built. Soon enough, I found a joy and passion working with computer hardware that exceeded my enjoyment of creating music.

 

In 2014, with the encouragement of two aspiring entrepreneurs, Hari Reyes (owner of ReLeaf Dental) and Charles Ritter, I decided to change my mission, committing to turn what started as a hobby and side hustle into a legitimate business. While working in various kitchen environments and doing driving gigs, I continued to hone my computer skills and expand my knowledge through direct experience. I gradually became confident enough to take on more challenging projects. By 2017, I was frequently building high end desktops for professional creators, gamers, streamers, photo editors, and even day stock traders.

At this stage of the development of Dazzotek, I began to hone in on what I wanted to bring to the table that wasn’t often seen in the tech support industry. My goal has always been to put myself in the customer’s shoes, and visualize how I can simplify their experience, while bringing a sense of relief as the project approaches completion. Clarity and transparency have remained as high priorities in how I operate and communicate with clients.

As the pandemic entered the stage in 2020, I quickly found my time shifting from a 50/50 split between rideshare driving and computer work, to having all work hours reserved for computer services. After building hundreds of computers during the pandemic, the demand settled and the market stabilized. In 2024, I began a dedicated marketing endeavor, including the creation of this page, a google business listing, and social media profiles, in order to help more folks discover what Dazzotek has to offer.
