Senior🎓
Top SchoolColin Reese is a founder and controls-focused engineer with 12 years of experience building industrial PLC/SCADA systems, electrical control panels, and user-facing HMIs while running a hardware/software startup in Portland. Trained as a chemical and materials engineer with MS/PhD work at Stanford, he pairs deep optical and reliability characterization expertise with hands-on electrical and embedded systems design. He has a track record of translating lab-scale materials innovation into commercial products, having led product science, lab build-outs, and investor-facing technical modeling at a quantum-dot downconverter company. Colin combines software skills (LabVIEW, MATLAB, scripting and automation) with machine-shop and panel-building craftsmanship, enabling rapid prototyping through production. He’s comfortable bridging research, product, and operations—often building the tooling and infrastructure teams need from bare floor to shipping demos. A detail-driven problem solver, he brings both experimental rigor and pragmatic controls engineering to industrial and research customers.
