Hello, I am currently an engineering manager that focuses in robotics and automation. On the side I love to automate homes with Apple’s HomeKit environment. I personally picked this environment due to its security, ease of use and only needing one app to control everything. If this is something that interests you also, let me help guide through this process. From device selection through setup and configuration.

Alix responded quickly, kept up communications, and helped me understand how my system worked. It turned out that the new TV I ordered arrived with a broken screen, so he had to pull it down after installation. But he fixed my old TV and set that back up! So I saved money and had a repair instead of investing in a new TV. Alix is excellent and will be my go-to electronics repair guy onward.
