How It All Started
Hi, I’m Gina Kamrany, founder of BYTES USA. My passion for technology began in my dad’s garage, where I learned patience, problem-solving, and how things work. When I was 10, I built my first computer, and from then on, I became the person everyone called for tech help.
I studied Computer Science and IT and later worked in the tech industry. During COVID, I supported medical teams and clinics across California by setting up secure networks, devices, and remote systems.
After moving to the Pacific Palisades, I launched BYTES. Not long after, the Palisades fire destroyed my home and all of my equipment. It was one of the most difficult moments of my life, but because of the support of friends, clients, and the community, I rebuilt and kept going. I now operate from Santa Monica, and my goal is to return to the Palisades and continue serving the community where it all began.
What We Do
We provide professional computer repair, custom PC builds, and IT support for homes and businesses in Santa Monica, Pacific Palisades, Brentwood, and West LA. Whether a computer stops working, the Wi-Fi keeps dropping, or a business needs reliable technical support, we make sure everything runs smoothly and securely. We set up home and office networks, Wi-Fi systems, smart home devices, security cameras, and surveillance systems to keep spaces connected and protected. Our team also helps with email setup, account recovery, data transfers, and system backups. For businesses, creators, and entrepreneurs, we design and develop websites, manage hosting and maintenance, and set up SEO to improve online visibility. We also offer 3D printing, design, and prototyping for custom projects. Our goal is to make technology simple, dependable, and easy to trust.
Why We Do This
We believe technology should make life easier, not more complicated. Too many people feel overwhelmed, unsupported, or alone when something goes wrong with their devices or networks. We exist to change that.
What drives us is simple. We want people to feel confident, secure, and in control of their technology. Whether it is fixing a computer, setting up a secure network, building a website, or protecting a business with the right systems, we are here to make technology reliable, approachable, and personal.
