Summary
Dan Wilson is a versatile designer-engineer based in Portland with a decade of experience blending product design, hardware fabrication, and test automation across consumer electronics and software domains. He designs and manufactures small-run outdoor gear end-to-end while also driving Python-based QA and validation efforts at companies like Telestream, Novus Labs, and UST, where he improved test efficiency and built CI/CD-aware automation. Comfortable in fast-paced Agile environments, he pairs hands-on prototyping and fabrication skills with systems-level troubleshooting of hardware-software interactions (including AV transports and prototype rack installs). Dan is notable for translating client conversations into calibrated, small-batch manufacturing and for establishing version-control and automation practices where none existed, accelerating feedback loops and reducing fragile test times.
