Systems & Infrastructure

I TAKE COMPLICATED
SYSTEMS AND MAKE
THEM DISAPPEAR.

I work on the systems people usually only notice when they stop working — classrooms, signage, scheduling, sensors, networks, and the glue between them. Most of my work is taking something complicated or repetitive and getting it to a point where nobody has to think about it every day.

About

I'D RATHER SOLVE IT ONCE

I tend to end up in the part of a system everyone has learned to work around. Sometimes that's an aging classroom standard. Sometimes it's a radar deployment that behaves differently in the field than it did on paper. Sometimes it's documentation spread across five places because nobody ever had time to fix it.

I didn't get here through a particularly tidy path. No formal degree or stack of certifications — mostly a decade of field work across AV, surveillance, sensor networks, campus infrastructure, documentation, and automation. The tools change. The part I care about stays pretty consistent: understand why something is difficult, remove as much friction as I can, and leave behind something repeatable.

How I work

MAKE IT SIMPLE
ENOUGH TO LAST

  • SIMPLIFY FIRST

    If a process is already messy, automating it just makes the mess happen faster. I try to cut the problem down before I add another tool to it.

  • STANDARDIZE WHAT MATTERS

    One good fix is useful. A fix somebody else can repeat across fifty rooms or seventy-five deployments is a system.

  • LEAVE IT USABLE

    Documentation, naming, defaults, recovery steps — the boring parts are usually what decide whether something still works six months later.

TEN YEARS OF FIELD WORK

COLLABORATIVE SPACE ANALYST

Cal Poly Pomona · Jul 2023 – Present

My current role sits across classroom technology, infrastructure, standards, and lifecycle planning for 350+ instructional and collaboration spaces. A lot of the work is taking things that grew organically over time and turning them into systems we can support on purpose.

  • Built and launched Classroom Help, a single knowledge and training resource for faculty and staff.
  • Led the migration of 120+ digital signage endpoints to Carousel, including emergency notification, wayfinding, and queue management.
  • Built the room-scheduling connection between Extron TLS panels and 25Live so the status outside a room matches the schedule people are actually using.
  • Developed the modernization plan for 50 instructional spaces still running on legacy analog infrastructure and got the initiative approved.
  • Coordinated a campus-wide wireless presentation migration, including network integration and rollout planning.

APPLICATION ENGINEER II

Spotter Global · Apr 2020 – Jul 2023

I commissioned and tuned intelligent radar systems protecting critical infrastructure across North America. The job moved constantly between site surveys, field commissioning, difficult radar environments, and figuring out how to make deployments more repeatable.

  • Supported radar-based drone-detection deployments protecting utility and other critical infrastructure.
  • Led tuning work in highly reflective and environmentally difficult sites where the normal assumptions did not hold up.
  • Supported the move from dedicated hardware toward virtualized deployment environments.
  • Helped turn deployment, commissioning, and documentation practices into repeatable standards for a growing field team.

TECHNICAL SUPPORT ENGINEER

Hunt Electronic USA · Dec 2017 – Mar 2020

I supported integrators working with surveillance, video management, access control, networking, and storage — usually after the easy troubleshooting had already been tried. The useful part of the job was turning complicated failures into something another person could understand, document, and fix.

  • Worked through network configuration, camera optimization, storage, and integration problems with system integrators.
  • Handled NVR configuration, RAID planning, and video-retention design.
  • Built technical documentation and a customer-facing knowledge base so the same problem did not have to be solved from scratch every time.

Experience / 04

AV TECHNICIAN

Dave & Buster's · May 2014 – Dec 2018

I maintained and repaired arcade, AV, and electronics systems in a high-volume venue. It was hands-on troubleshooting, component-level repair, and fixing whatever broke quickly enough that the floor could keep moving.

Selected Work

WORK THAT
CHANGED SOMETHING

I pulled scattered classroom documentation and support guidance into one place so faculty and staff had somewhere useful to start before opening another ticket.

I built the case for moving 50 instructional spaces off legacy analog infrastructure, then turned that into an approved modernization initiative.

I moved 120+ screens to Carousel and used the migration to fold emergency notification, wayfinding, and queue management into the same system.

I connected Extron TLS room panels to 25Live so the status outside a room actually matched the schedule people were using.

I coordinated a campus-wide wireless presentation migration, including the network side, rollout planning, and the pieces that had to line up before rooms could move.

I tuned and standardized radar deployments across 75+ sites, especially the difficult ones where reflections and environmental conditions made tuning substantially harder.

Toolbox

BREADTH, NOT A CHECKLIST

Systems & Automation

I like repeatable work: process cleanup, lifecycle planning, lightweight scripting, deployment standards, and anything that turns a one-off fix into something reusable.

Integration

Scheduling, digital signage, emergency notification, AV control, networking, and the awkward middle where two systems technically support each other but still need convincing.

Field Engineering

Site surveys, commissioning, radar tuning, network configuration, field troubleshooting, and the practical work of making a design survive the real environment.

Design & Documentation

CAD standards, technical documentation, knowledge bases, and the diagrams or checklists people actually reach for when something needs to be built or fixed.

LET'S FIX
SOMETHING

If you're working on a system that's grown complicated enough that everyone has started accepting the workaround, I'm probably interested. I'm especially open to systems, automation, infrastructure, and integration work.
