About
Technology design grounded in coordination and constructability.
I am an RCDD specializing in telecommunications infrastructure and security system design for complex building projects.
My focus is creating coordinated, constructible designs that balance owner requirements, brand standards, operational needs, and field installation practices.
I enjoy solving coordination challenges between architectural, MEP, structural, and technology disciplines while producing practical low-voltage documents that support installation and long-term system performance.

Design Philosophy
Good design reduces uncertainty before construction begins.
Great technology design is not only about selecting devices. It is about creating coordinated infrastructure that supports installation, simplifies maintenance, and remains adaptable for future needs.
