Giving Back to Chicago
We believe in giving back to our community. We’re proud to support two local organizations: the Chicago Women’s Health Center (CWHC) and Bright Promises Foundation.
While our focus at Protek-IT is on technology and IT support, we care deeply about the well-being of the people in our city. Supporting local initiatives like these allows us to contribute in a meaningful way, beyond just the services we provide to support local business owners.
CWHC offers essential health care services to women and gender non-conforming individuals, ensuring that those in need have access to affordable, compassionate care. We support their efforts to make healthcare more accessible for everyone in our city.
Bright Promises Foundation works to improve the lives of children and families throughout Chicagoland, addressing critical issues like education and mental health. Their programs have a lasting impact, helping children thrive and creating a brighter future for the community.
THE PROTEK-IT TEAM
After many unsuccessful attempts to join a company as a computer technician, I learned web design and SEO and started to do home visits, helping people with their computer issues — that’s how PRO got started.

I started using computers when I was four years old to play video games with my dad and my brother. Since then, I have been learning all there is to know about technology, and I enjoy helping others learn about it too.
In my free time, I enjoy playing PC games at the Esports level, playing guitar, and enjoying good food with my family.
Matthew Labuda

I moved to Georgia in 1999. I love the south, the heath, the humidity, the trees, the sound of cicadas in the summer. I've been working in IT my whole life, and specialize in remote management and monitoring.
In my free time I try to keep my 4 year old son out of trouble, I also like working on DIY projects around the house.
