I led the complete replacement of the Charleston store’s IT infrastructure at La-Z-Boy Southeast — ordering, configuring, and deploying new hardware and software, managing low-voltage cabling contractors, and coordinating with store staff so the business kept selling while its technology was rebuilt around it.
The Challenge
A working store can’t pause for a technology refresh. Every terminal, printer, access point, and cable run had to be planned, staged, and swapped around business hours — with contractors on site and staff kept in the loop the whole way.
What I Delivered
Hardware refresh
New PCs, printers, and network equipment — ordered, configured, and staged before installation day.
Low-voltage cabling
Managed contractors through clean cable runs and drops that will outlast the equipment on them.
Staff coordination
Worked with the store team on timing and relocation so selling never stopped.
Deployment & cutover
Swapped the store onto its new infrastructure with the showroom open and the tills running.
The Store
A La-Z-Boy Home Furnishings & Décor storefront — the retail environment this project rebuilt from the wiring up.
Skills & Tools
The stack behind this build — tap any to see related work.
The Impact
A store running on current hardware, clean cabling, and a network built for the next decade — delivered without a lost selling day.
Retail-Grade Reliability
Store infrastructure earns its keep at 9 a.m. on a Saturday. Planning the swap around the business — not the other way around — is what made this project invisible to customers and painless for staff.
