Darryl Sarkisian

Sales engineer and builder. I come from access control systems and technical support—which means I understand infrastructure at a deeper level. I specialize in ITSM, CRM, and application lifecycle management platforms—with hands-on expertise in workflow automation, integrations, and connecting enterprise tools to AI systems via MCP servers.

Demo: Sales engineering in action

This is how I work — building the things I demo, not just talking about them. If you want a live walkthrough specific to your stack, let's schedule time.

About me

I started in access control systems engineering — wiring door gateways and control panels onsite. That gave me a foundation in physical infrastructure, systems thinking, and troubleshooting.

From there, I moved into technical support for on-premise solutions, working my way up to sales engineering. That trajectory matters: I can talk to infrastructure teams because I've lived that world.

I'm fluent in C# and Python. I care about building things that actually work, not just demos that impress.

Based in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Off the clock

I'm a serious reader of 19th century history. The full list of favorites lives on my desk, but a few anchors: Barbara Tuchman's work (especially The Guns of August), David McCullough, and Erik Larson. I'm interested in the American Civil War era through the early 20th century—the arc from industrialization through geopolitical shift.

I'm also a committed Warriors and 49ers fan. The sports fandom and history reading aren't disconnected; both are about systems, strategy, and how people perform under pressure.
