I’m Ashley—tech nerd, seasoned engineer, and solo parent who knows firsthand how hard it can be to keep a home running smoothly when you’re juggling work, caregiving, and everything in between.

Before founding Serenity Smart Homes, I spent over two decades in internet infrastructure and cybersecurity, solving complex technical problems and translating them into plain language for technical and nontechnical stakeholders alike.

I’ve worked with globally distributed systems and know exactly how to bridge the gap between cutting-edge tech and real-life needs. Now, I bring that same clarity, compassion, and technical precision into homes and commercial spaces that deserve better.

My journey into smart home installation started with a simple moment: walking into the kitchen to find the fridge door wide open, courtesy of my then-toddler’s snack expedition. That one “there has to be a better way” moment launched a deep dive into building a home that supported my real life. From figuring out the difference between Zigbee vs. Z-Wave to choosing Homebridge vs. Home Assistant, I became the go-to tech guide for building smarter, more responsive spaces.

Today, Serenity Smart Homes offers personalized smart home installation and smart building services for modern families, as well as mission-driven businesses. Whether I’m helping a client compare Ecobee vs Nest, designing a more peaceful morning routine for a neurodivergent household, or implementing smart building IoT for a therapy office or short-term rental, my approach is always people-first, privacy-conscious, and tailored to your real needs.

I act as your smart home personal shopper and trusted advisor, filtering out hype, prioritizing longevity, and building systems that work together, even when your internet doesn’t.

For residential clients, that means curated solutions that make your home more comfortable, more efficient, and easier to manage. For commercial clients, that means implementing smart building technology and IoT security solutions that enhance the safety, efficiency, and user experience of your space—without locking you into a single platform or vendor.

Your space should adapt to you—not the other way around.

Whether it’s a camera that records when the gate opens, lights that cue bedtime, or occupancy-aware automations for a client-facing space, I’m here to help you feel more at ease, more in control, and more supported every day.

Let’s build a smarter home—or building—together.
