Specialized Technology Deployment

My experience includes managing the IT Lifecycle for unique, high-stakes environments. I lead projects from the ground-up construction of new facilities to the deployment of advanced medical and broadcast technologies.

1. Ground-Up Facility Integration

I specialize in integrating technology from the blueprint stage of new construction and remodeling projects. This ensures that all networking, AV, and specialized systems are seamlessly incorporated into the facility’s design from day one.

  • Develop technical recommendations and risk matrices for facility planning.
  • Coordinate with architects, construction crews, and vendors to manage infrastructure installation.
  • Oversee the complete lifecycle from initial design to final operational handover.

2. Advanced Medical Simulation Labs

I led the deployment of high-fidelity hospital and clinical simulation technologies for medical and nursing programs. These complex environments require precise integration of medical hardware, monitoring software, and AV systems.

  • Managed the procurement and installation of patient simulators and monitoring systems.
  • Integrated control room technology for recording and debriefing simulation sessions.
  • Ensured all systems met the rigorous standards for medical training and education.

3. AV & Broadcast Technology

Beyond traditional IT, I direct the design and implementation of cutting-edge audio-visual and broadcast infrastructure for studios, auditoriums, and smart classrooms, ensuring a seamless, high-quality digital experience.

  • Oversaw the build-out of professional broadcast studios with multi-camera setups and control rooms.
  • Managed the upgrade of auditoriums with modern projection, sound, and live-streaming capabilities.
  • Deployed interactive smart classroom technologies to enhance the teaching and learning environment.
