I founded Housedillon as a corporate entity to house the various engineering consulting work that comes my way as well as continue the development of products that I started at Oregon State University. As the president, my responsibilities include corporate governance, such as tax preparation, annual filings, meetings, etc. Additionally, I'm responsible for completing contracted tasks for clients. The contract work that Housedillon specializes in are: * Prototype research, development, and manufacturing * Design for manufacturing * Software development (embedded, Linux, cloud, and application) * Hardware development (electrical design, schematic capture, layout, manufacturing and assembly, CAD design, 3D printing, CNC machining ) * Solution architecture * Product developmentI founded Housedillon as a corporate entity to house the various engineering consulting work that comes my way as well as continue the development of products that I started at Oregon State University.

At Racepoint Energy, I was in the founding cohort; responsible for all software development. Later I was the de facto leader of technical and product efforts, including the product roadmap, offering architecture, and platform architecture. While at Racepoint, I served on the mergers and acquisition teams for the Noon Home (into Racepoint) and GE Lightning (into Savant Systems) acquisitions. Key responsibilities: * software delivery strategy, including CI/CD DevOps, testing, quality, bug tracking, task management, and agile methodologies. * evaluated and selected SaaS partners to support our software development activities. * Designed utility portal architecture, and led the cloud engineering team, to support hundreds of thousands of IoT devices organized into a hierarchical multi-tenant cloud application. * Architected, and largely implemented, first-party residential HVAC thermostat * Supervised engineering for three other IoT products, comprising the entire product portfolio.At Racepoint Energy, I was in the founding cohort; responsible for all software development.
