Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDoug Moran is a versatile engineering leader and serial entrepreneur with over 30 years designing systems across avionics, BI, big data, and embedded camera platforms, and 18 years of hands-on engineering experience culminating in his current role leading National Geographic’s Exploration Technology Lab. He excels at translating customer needs into pragmatic architectures and guiding teams to deliver complex embedded UX and data solutions on time, from CETI critter cams on sperm whales to terrestrial and underwater camera systems. Doug has founded and exited startups, led big-data product strategy at Pentaho, and managed product and engineering teams in resource-constrained global health contexts, giving him a rare mix of startup grit and enterprise-grade process. He is equally comfortable in low-level embedded C and system architecture as in shaping roadmaps for cloud and big-data stacks like Spark and Hadoop. Off the clock he builds a replica 1965 Shelby Cobra and has practical hands-on skills (welding, DMX lighting) that reflect a maker’s mindset he brings back into engineering. Based in the Washington DC–Baltimore area, he combines technical depth with clear customer-focused communication and a proven track record of shipping mission-critical, field-deployed systems.
