I program the panel your CEO touches at 8:59.
Crestron, Q-SYS and Extron programming, touch panel UI and deployment tooling for integrators, consultants and campus AV teams. Built so the room makes sense to the person using it, and to the next tech who opens the file.

Touch panels you can actually touch
Rebuilt from finished jobs, with client identifiers removed. The Crestron panels run their CH5 code against a simulated processor, and the Q-SYS UCIs are rebuilt as working pages. On the Q-SYS tab, open a wall on the rack panel and watch the podium re-route.
Room Builder
Built so a room standard rolls out the same way every time: no hand-typed IP tables, no copy-paste program edits, and every room ships the same program and panel build. Describe the room and it produces a validated config, an IP table and device setup, then deploys everything over the network.
- Displays, NVX encoders and decoders, sources, conferencing, DSP, mics, cameras and power behavior
- Live checks that jump straight to the field at fault
- Provisions every box by MAC address, then deploys config, program and panel over SSH
- A live panel preview that follows the room config
Plugins, modules & tools
Drivers for gear integrators actually install, shared on GitHub.

From signal flow to the last button press
-
Control programming
Room logic, device drivers, scheduling and fault handling that holds up when the projector lamp dies at 8:59 AM.
-
DSP design & tuning
Biamp Tesira and Q-SYS DSP builds, from one room to multi-zone combinable spaces: AEC, gain structure, paging zones and room combining, so remote participants hear the room clearly.
-
Touch panel UI / UX
Interfaces built for the person who's never seen the room before. Big targets, clear feedback, nothing hidden. See them live ↑
-
Plugins & modules
Custom Q-SYS plugins and Crestron modules for devices that don't ship with one, written to be maintainable.
-
Commissioning & service
On-site bring-up, Teams, Zoom and Webex rooms, and AV-over-IP networks (VLANs, IGMP, QoS). Plus the escalation calls nobody else could crack, and docs the support team will actually read.
-
Deployment tooling
Tools that turn a room standard into a deployable config and push it to every box. 50 identical rooms, one build. See it live ↑
Subcontract for integrators, or direct for campus and enterprise AV teams. Based in Metro Detroit, open to regional and national travel.
- ScopeDrawings, gear list and how the room should feel to use. You get a fixed quote or an hourly estimate.
- BuildProgram and panels built remotely and tested against a simulator before anyone drives to site.
- On siteBring-up, tuning and a punch list worked down to zero.
- HandoffAs-builts, a join map and docs the support team will actually read.
Have a room that needs programming?
Integrators, consultants and end users: I take on contract programming, plugin development and room standards work. Tell me a bit about the project and I'll reply within one business day.
