Bio
Rob Newmarch
I am the Managing Director of an international non-profit organization. I contracted with Peter to develop a proposal for an integrated response to a building security vulnerability at one of our facilities. He provided a detailed and thorough analysis of various issues, including building user interaction and flow, building access security hardware and user interface, specification of perimeter lighting system, and evaluation of alarm and observation systems. This proposal was presented to the organization Board for approval. Peter has been successfully implementing this plan by interaction with both organization staff and electro-mechanical sub-contractors. I would highly recommend Peter as skilled technical analyst and problem solver, who is able to comfortably and effectively interact with a broad range of stakeholders.

I worked with Peter on two projects in Xradia Inc, I was very impressed by his new ideas in mechanical design, his carefulness in every details, and very good habit of clear documentation. Peter is a good guy to work with.
