Hello,

I’m Edward Ciraco

I’m an IT Administrator and Digital Systems Consultant with experience designing, managing, and supporting reliable technology infrastructure. I help organizations operate efficiently, maintain uptime, and evolve through smart, scalable solutions.

My interest in technology began in high school, where I took three years of computer science. Those classes sparked my curiosity about how systems work and how technology can solve real-world problems. What started as an academic interest quickly developed into a passion for creating, building, and improving through technology.

After high school, I attended Monroe College, where I majored in Computer Information Systems. While attending, I began working for the Village of Mamaroneck IT Department, where I continue to serve today.

In my role, I manage and maintain the village’s technology infrastructure including servers, networks, and user systems while also planning and implementing improvements that make daily operations smoother and more secure. I enjoy the combination of hands-on troubleshooting and large-scale system design, and I take pride in building solutions that make technology work better for the people who rely on it.

Before working in IT, I got my start as a UI/UX designer for a friend’s company, where I learned how thoughtful design directly impacts user experience and productivity. That foundation continues to influence how I approach system design, focusing not only on performance and reliability but also on usability and the human side of technology.

After building a foundation in IT and UI/UX principles, I decided to start a company of my own. I founded EC Digital Systems & Solutions, where I work with small businesses to modernize operations and improve efficiency through practical, custom-built technology solutions. My goal is to bridge the gap between people and technology, empowering organizations to grow through smarter, more connected systems.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Computer Information Systems from Monroe College, graduating magna cum laude. During my studies, I focused on information systems, networking, and system design and development, gaining a strong foundation in both technical and analytical problem-solving. I also learned the foundations of computer networks, cybersecurity, and information technology best practices.

My coursework and hands-on projects helped me develop the practical skills that I continue to use in my professional work, from designing and managing complex IT systems to developing technology solutions that improve business operations.
