Designing a camera layout was the easy part. Getting the right system into every remodeled store, every year meant holding standards, capital, equipment, labor, integrators, construction schedules, and lifecycle at once, and none of it belonged to one team. Asset Protection, Risk, Realty, Construction, GSOC, Investigations, and Claims all had a claim on the design.
- Standards and a modular design library: SOPs and a Basis of Design vendors were contractually bound to, decomposed into cost-coded scope packages by store prototype.
- The quality gate: primary QA/QC and design authority over architects of record and outside vendors, on every package.
- Construction administration: RFIs, submittal review, as-builts, and closeout walks, on every project, not selectively.
- One standard, four countries: took the program into Canada, Mexico, and India forward-only, no remediation of divergent estates.
- Computer vision and LPR, pilot to pattern: a hazard-detection reference store that became the pattern for the next nineteen, plus an enterprise LPR program supporting Amber Alert response.

I do my best work inside complex systems where no single team owns the whole problem.
