I'm a software engineer and entrepreneur. I like to bring technology to boring industries.
Right now I am focused on the access control industry, learning the technical side of how physical security systems actually work, how budgets are allocated at big buildings and helping customers implement a workplace experience product.
I really enjoy building things, blogging and being valuable to my friends and family. Outside of work I play tennis regularly and try to spend as much time in the ocean as possible. Surfing and skiing make occasional appearances when things are going well.
If you work in the access control industry or in another industry that has not seen much automation and think there is an opportunity to change that, I would love to hear from you via email at michael@michaelpichardo.com or slide into my dms.
In my blog you'll find posts on how I've automated things in my life or at work. I also write about learnings and the latest updates about my journey as an entrepreneur to my advisors.
