Summary

Experienced professional with a robust background in access control and camera installation. High level troubleshooting skills largely honed at AK Technologies. Organized, self-motivated and solution orientated with a niche for problem-solving under immense pressure. Because of my quick learning and adaptation, I'm recognized constantly for performance excellence and contributions to success in any environment.

I have spearheaded numerous large-scale projects, including installations at prominent facilities such as Amazon warehouses, Tesla Lithium Refinery, Meta (Facebook) Data Center, Stream Data Center, One Medical, and multiple Gordon Foods locations across Houston. Additionally, I have overseen numerous smaller to mid size projects and service calls throughout the region.

While I typically outsourced programming, I am actively pursuing certifications in Lenel and Software House to further enhance my expertise and contribute even more effectively to project success.
