Meet the Founder: Meheretab Mengistu

I founded JLUIT with a clear purpose: to close the technology gap for local governments, schools, and small to mid-sized businesses—organizations often left behind by large, one-size-fits-all IT providers. As an African immigrant, U.S. citizen, and a lifelong learner, I have witnessed the power of technology to transform communities when it’s made accessible and intentional.

Before starting JLUIT, I built my career as a network engineer and architect, gaining deep, hands-on expertise in designing and implementing secure, scalable infrastructure. I’m honored to hold the CCIE—one of the most respected and advanced certifications in the IT industry.

Today, I bring that experience, dedication, and perspective to every client we work with, helping them harness technology to grow, serve, and thrive.

At JLUIT, our mission is to empower clients through tailored IT solutions that address their unique needs. We are committed to:

• Delivering exceptional customer service at every stage of the engagement.

• Designing and deploying secure, reliable networks that enhance productivity and connectivity.

• Developing high-quality software and websites that are user-friendly, visually compelling, and performance-optimized.

• Installing and maintaining security camera systems that safeguard assets and ensure workplace safety.

• Providing expert IT consulting to guide informed technology decisions and ensure long-term success.

• Supplying a broad range of cutting-edge IT equipment at competitive prices, with expert advice to match clients with the right tools.
