about pittwater · est. 2021

Let's get it done.

Pittwater is a boutique, engineering-driven AV design and build firm, founded in 2021 on decades of experience deploying technology at the highest levels of global enterprise. We've built, scaled, and standardized systems for some of the most demanding environments in the world.

We employ zero salespeople. We run no outbound marketing. We operate strictly on a 100% referral basis — staying small and obsessively focused on the engineering itself.

Dean Smith

Originally from Sydney, Australia, Dean brings over 18 years of end-to-end experience in AV integration. After mastering every role from installation to sales, he led the R&D technical team for Apple Retail, spearheading the global standardization of technology across more than 500 stores. Relocating to the East Coast in 2020, he founded Pittwater — named after the shoreline he grew up on — to bring that enterprise practice to a boutique, engineering-focused firm.
