The Onega Team

Onega is made up of a small but experienced team. Just like in any and every other team, everyone has their own strengths and together we cover all the bases.

No one knows everything and there is overlap and redundancy in key areas, so that no one individual is critical should they be run over by a proverbial double decker bus (though we hope that does not happen and remind staff that playing chicken with a double decker bus tends to work out better for the bus).

To consider the medical analogy, you could probably think of Onega as being like a GP's surgery. For managing health, this is your first port of call and so it is with us here. We cover a wide range of skills from Networks and Comms and Mobile through to Cloud, Windows and Linux Desktop and Server Support, and also Security and Strategy to a good degree. Beyond ourselves though, we have access to a wide trusted partner network who we can involve in projects and solutions as needed. These range from AV specialists who can help realise your 'evil empire' boardroom ambitions through to security and forensic computing analysts who can help with complex investigation and matters that may have legal implications through to very efficient network installers who can help fit out an office with the latest Cat 6 and fibre networks to see an office through the next 10-15 years of core computing connectivity. Finally we also deal with a wide range of web designers. Here at Onega we are open about having zero creative talent (though we're not displeased with this website which is our own work and content). Our skills are primarily  in the technical and business sides of things. For example we can help a business interact with their web designers and help ensure efficient hosting and DNS operations etc.

So - who’s who at Onega?

In Alphabetical order:

Alban - Has been with us for a couple of years now and is a well-established and very helpful member of the team. He is currently on sabbatical but will be back with us later in 2024.

Aneil - Covers a wide range of Comms and Windows support issues and has a thorough and pragmatic work manner that clients like. Aneil is very quiet; he’s like a stealthy ninja IT man.

Ashif - Has a passion for learning and enjoys the constantly evolving nature of technology, the process of researching, troubleshooting and just plain figuring things out. He’s an Arsenal supporter, and loves football and also reviving old computers and tablets.

Ben - Founded the company back in 1998 and generally styles himself as 'Director and Dogsbody' in that everyone is very hands-on (there is nowhere to hide in a small firm). He keeps a good technical overview of what is happening with regards to client projects, as well as looking forward and helping to architect solutions, strategies and policies for clients and beyond.

Gin - Is a Warrior Queen and particularly good at throwing axes when she is not helping out on the Accounts Team and keeping the office in order. She also knits like a demon.

Hamid - Hamid is a bit of a dynamo, always keen to help out, guide new members of the team or take on new projects; and always does it with a smile. Likes red velvet cake.

Heather - Enjoys zooming around Europe as motorbike pillion, either singing or screaming to herself, when not involved in accounting here at Onega.

Krunal -  Is one of our senior engineers and account managers and has a wide technical knowledge as well as being very good at helping to look after client needs and manage accounts. A master of multi-tasking. Nobody has ever had more monitors on their desk at one time than Krunal.

Masood - Our newest recruit and newly graduated, is settling in well. Masood is interested in Graphics Design, Marital Arts, Software Development, building PCs and AI.

Nicola - Works with Heather to keep us engineers in order with admin, billing, accounting and general organisation. An often thankless task for which we're most thankful.

Paulius - Does a lot of the hands-on work on TBWnet and hosted networks with switch and router configurations, on top of exercising his other IT skills.  When not at work he tries very hard to avoid flying. Unfortunately for him, his wife is quite fond of long-distance travel. 

Together we make up a pretty good team - please feel free to get in touch and ask how we can help you if you're not already a client.
