Who We Are

About

Real experience. No fluff.

Chad Pelander

Principal Partner, DevOps & Business Automation Specialist

Thirty years in IT, running from network engineering through cloud infrastructure and SRE leadership at companies of all sizes. Pelander Technologies is how that experience gets applied to businesses that need serious technical help but can't hire a full engineering department to get it.

The business has roots going back to 2012. What's changed since then is the tooling. AI, automation, and cloud infrastructure are now accessible to any business willing to use them. What hasn't changed is the approach: figure out what's actually costing you time and money, then fix it correctly the first time. That sometimes means more work up front, but it saves real money down the road when your business grows and needs to expand.

"I do what I do because I love technology. Back in the early 90s I was a teenager on a 2400 baud modem, dialing local BBSs and finding my way onto the internet through telnet sessions I probably wasn't supposed to find. I knew it was going to revolutionize how people communicate and do business. I wasn't wrong."

Based in Denver, CO. Working with clients wherever the work makes sense.
