Our story
Two generations, one standard: do the work right and stand behind it.
1992 to today
AK Technologies began in 1992 as AK Telecom, founded by Alice Velez and Keith Sturdivant. In 2015 the company was rebranded and relaunched by their son, Matt Sturdivant, to focus on security integration and low-voltage solutions.
Today we serve as a trusted partner for clients across Texas, combining family values with industry expertise. Three straight years on the Austin Business Journal Fast 50 and the PSA Network's 2024 Small Integrator of the Year award came from the same habit: deliver, then deliver again.
