I launched Automation Electric with the intent of delving into automation projects for the industry. I designed and programmed systems for machines to automate certain processes and developed gadgets for industrial purposes. During this time, I worked on various electrical systems, designing lighting for both residential and commercial projects, as well as network wiring for data and voice, and wiring for sound systems and the latest flat-screen televisions.
I am now trained to specify, program, and install home automation systems including Lutron's Radio RA2 and Homeworks QS, motorized shades, and Vantage Systems. Our offerings include all NEST products, sound systems, and home theaters.
I completed my electrician training in Switzerland through a four-year apprenticeship program. I passed the state licensing exam as an electrical contractor in California in 1991.
I launched my business as RS Electric in 1991.
In 1995, I joined forces with Eli Sadi to create E & R Electric.
I served as the campus electrician at Mills College in Oakland, CA.
I am now committed to home automation, fully certified as a Lutron Residential System Provider, including the L3 design level. My expertise lies in upgrading existing lighting control systems to the latest standards and integrating smartphone control, motorized shades, and temperature control.

Our journey began in 2021, as a locally owned cooperative, employing women, immigrants, and people of color to have a stake in a business they help build.

Each team member brings distinct skills that enhance our development efforts, ultimately enabling us to serve our clients.

With over 20 years in construction, I wanted to launch my own company, beginning with smaller projects before taking on larger projects as a General Contractor.

Being a cooperative owned by workers, the team and I have always wanted to build and run a business. Yet, the journey of starting a business is filled with obstacles, and a single person cannot possess all the knowledge.

That’s the reason we formed our company, so we, as co-owners can gain knowledge collectively what it takes to run a business successfully as a team.

I take great pride in what I do. I find satisfaction in every aspect of my job.
