Robert DeGregorio, Commissioner, Atlantic Hockey

The lead manager and developer for the Eastern College Athletic Conference's groundbreaking online officiating system, Matt Pangaro has been making an impact on athletics clients at PrestoSports since its inception. Pangaro maintains the company's Information Technology infrastructure and spearheads software development for PrestoSports as its Director of Technology.

Under Pangaro's direction, PrestoSports uses proprietary software tailored to the needs of sports organizations running on top of an open source platform including Apache 2.2, Java 5, and MySQL 5. Through interactive web software, the PrestoSports content management system allows clients to effectively publish their important information from any location. 

As the Director of Technology, Pangaro also oversees the PrestoSports web hosting capabilities. PrestoSports boasts two racks of servers at a top-tier hosting provider with multiple levels of redundancy at the network, power, application, and database layer. The system can immediately work around most hardware and other failures. 

Pangaro's efforts have provided clients a solution with a near-real time backup sent to an offsite location.  The PrestoSports disaster recovery plan allows data restoration and application to a new location in the event of a 9/11 or Katrina scale disaster.

Pangaro, a member of the Lokitech team for nearly a decade, earned his undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering at Duke University where he specialized in computer modeling. When not camping out to watch his beloved Blue Devils play basketball, he was working on the school's Society of Automotive Engineers Formula SAE car.

Pangaro resides in Bethesda, Md. with his wife Eddie and their children Nicholas (6) and Emily (4).
