Available for Consulting Engagements

Physical security that actually gets installed right.

Independent consulting for access control, video surveillance, and low-voltage systems. Vendor-neutral guidance from someone who has been on the ladder, in the IDF closet, and at the commissioning table since 2013.

What I Do

Consulting services

Owner's rep, design review, and hands-on technical guidance for organizations deploying or modernizing physical security infrastructure.

Access Control Design

Door schedules, wiring plans, credential strategy, reader/controller selection, and integration planning across platforms.

Video Surveillance Strategy

Camera selection, coverage analysis, standardized viewpoints, storage sizing, VMS/cloud architecture, and analytics rollout.

Bid & Scope Review

Independent review of integrator bids, BOMs, and Division 27/28 specs. Catch the gaps before they become change orders.

Multi-Site Rollouts

Standards, templates, and project governance for rolling out security across portfolios — schools, municipal facilities, corporate sites.

System Migration & Modernization

Sunset legacy panels and DVRs with phased migrations. Preserve door hardware where sensible, replace what's holding you back.

Commissioning & QA

Punch-list walks, as-built validation, labeling, documentation, and owner handoff — so the system survives after the integrator leaves.

Platform Experience

Vendor-neutral, but deeply familiar

I've designed, installed, and serviced systems across the major platforms in access control and video. That means recommendations based on fit — not on what someone resells.
