Consulting

Smart home guidance from someone who builds real systems

Remote consulting for people planning a new smart home or trying to fix one that isn't working. Submit an intake form, I'll review it within 1–2 business days, and reach out with next steps. There's no charge to submit.

How it works

Four steps. No surprises.

1

Submit your intake

Fill out the intake form for the package that fits your situation. Describe your setup, goals, and what isn't working.

2

I review it

Within 1–2 business days I'll read through your submission and confirm whether I'm the right fit for what you need.

3

Payment & scheduling

If it's a good fit, I'll reply with a payment link. For live call tiers, I'll also include a calendar link to book your session.

4

You get your deliverable

Written recommendation, system plan, or full review — delivered as agreed, with follow-up support where included in your package.

Why trust this

The background

  • 20 years of systems engineering experience
  • Designed and deployed infrastructure in higher education and healthcare — two industries where reliability isn't optional
  • Deep hands-on experience with networking, AV systems, and application integration
  • Brings enterprise-grade thinking to residential smart home design
  • Vendor-agnostic — recommendations based on reliability, not brand preference

The community

Started sharing smart home and systems knowledge on YouTube because the good information was too scattered and too jargon-heavy. A small but growing group of builders who care about doing this right, not just doing it fast.
