Dragan J. Lazic

Project Manager & IT Manager
Since an early age, you could often find me getting my hands on any electronic device I could! I wanted to know and understand how things worked. The IT industry seemed a natural fit for me, and I've enjoyed executing complex projects and solving problems over the past 20+ years. While at Gateway, I have continued my passion for solving problems while improving my skills to help our firm grow.

In 2016, I joined Gateway Engineers as an Information Technology Manager overseeing the entire IT needs of the company. Since 2018, I have been serving as a Project Manager which has included managing various projects, mainly in IT. In late 2018, I had the opportunity to manage larger internal construction projects, including the construction of our new regional office in Butler, PA, and now the expansion project for our Pittsburgh Headquarters campus.

Before working at Gateway Engineers, I worked for a local technology firm where I was manager for two cloud divisions and chief consultant for ninety + firms across the US.

I enjoy spending time with my wife and our four kids, ages 10-15. I have played basketball my whole life. I love watching Euro League and NBA basketball and cheering on the Denver Nuggets. As a family, we enjoy watching the Pittsburgh Penguins, and you can often find us at games. My other passion is traveling. I love exploring the world and learning more about different cultures and customs.
