What I'm looking for

I seek a role advancing enterprise physical security design—focused on API-driven integrations, scalable multi-site deployments, technical leadership, and collaborative innovation.

I am a physical security leader with 10+ years designing, installing, and maturing enterprise-scale access control, video surveillance, and intrusion detection programs across multi-site public and commercial environments. I have led technical teams, developed API-based integrations (including Avigilon Unity web endpoint notifications and LPR webhook logging), and driven standards and governance to improve scalability, reliability, and incident response.

My background includes CTO and lead network engineering roles where I delivered large deployments (52 sites, 6,500+ cameras, 1,000+ doors), designed SSO with SAML/OAuth/Entra ID, built monitoring dashboards to reduce downtime, and produced specialized solutions for high-stakes clients such as NASA's Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory. I seek opportunities to advance physical security design through innovation, API integrations, and strong cross-functional collaboration.
