About Us

McQuillen Technical Consulting was founded in 1999 by Harry McQuillen and most work is done by Harry himself. Compared to some larger shops where you may have a different consultant every time, we can more easily grow to know your business inside and out.

Harry, an Apple IIe user from a very young age, got his first Macintosh, a 512k, in 1984. He went on to write the New York Times best-selling  “10 Minute Guide to System 7” at age 17. After getting a B.A. from Amherst College in Modern European History he moved from the East Coast to California and entered the computer industry where he worked for several companies including Sun Microsystems and Adobe. After spending much of his free time troubleshooting technical issues for his friends and colleagues he decided to found an IT consulting business
