Early Beginnings and Inspiration
Arthur Olshansky’s fascination with technology began at a young age, sparked by his cousin’s influence. “I began to tinker with computers at a very young age inspired by my cousin. Of course, it all started with gaming but then grew into simple programming,” Arthur recalls.
His journey took a significant leap forward when his father bought him his first computer, a Commodore VIC-20. “My father was always supportive of my interactions with technology, and I think he saw I had a gift with this,” he reflects.
A College Shift

This revelation led him to shift from biology to technology and find his first job in the field. He started in a job providing support for IBM and Compaq laptops for a large insurance company. This role marked the beginning of his professional journey in IT, a field he found both challenging and rewarding.
