About Kosta Topi
As an integration manager at Active Watch Security, I lead the integration and daily operations. I specialize in getting artificial intelligence, machine learning, and video surveillance systems to work together, delivering innovative solutions for commercial and residential projects. I have extensive experience in security, safety, and construction, and I manage the business and project team during UAT to assure software quality during test cycles.I am also pursuing my degree in international business at Universitatea Hyperion, where I learn how to apply my technical and managerial skills to a global context. I am passionate about building a future where people feel safe and secure, whether they are at home in their living room or on the job site. I enjoy collaborating with stakeholders, vendors, and staff, and I always seek to improve productivity and efficiency. If you have an integration problem that needs solving, give me a call!
