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. Based in Lehi, Utah, he brings a mix of hands-on coding, cross-team leadership (Architectural Review Board member), and curiosity-driven experimentation to complex embedded problems.
