She worked at Computer Services for a number of years before deciding to move into private industry, and it was at this point that Alphasoft came into the picture. In 1997 Lynne Firth joined Alphasoft Ltd. as a Systems Engineer and Customer Service Manager. Twelve years later she is now Service Coordinator, organizing the warranty, service and repair of computers, printers and a myriad of other hardware components brought in by private owners or corporate clients.

Andrew has multiple and extensive certifications enabling him to service and repair all business-line HP products. He is also our Apple technician (and guru), so he is the man to talk to when it comes to anything Mac.

Roydell Connor

Senior Technician

& Bloomberg Support Engineer

Roydell Connor is Caymanian and is the second longest-term employee at Alphasoft Ltd. Although he took some computer courses in school, he wasn’t really planning to get into the IT industry. He started out as a Divemaster working at Morritt’s Tortuga Club in East End, and worked there for five years before hearing of a Technician position becoming available at Alphasoft. He joined the company in 1992, and his first trip was a two-week course with HP in Miami on repairing and servicing printers. In the following years he travelled to Puerto Rico for printer and server training. Since then he has expanded his knowledge to become the Bloomberg Manager for the Cayman Islands, he supports Equant (airline check-in systems) and is contracted as the printer service technician for a number of prestigious local firms. Each year he updates his training in new technology to ensure that his expertise is up-to-date.
