At Vivint he now drives innovation (winning every 2024 innovation week) and previously shaped API strategy and voice-reliability improvements for Nortek’s security panels. Known for pragmatic architecture work and shipping end-to-end solutions, he routinely bridges firmware, kernel modules, and user-facing features to deliver customer-facing value.
