Summary
Douglas Hohensee is a pragmatic software development engineer with 10 years of experience building systems from bare-metal embedded firmware to cloud-hosted full-stack applications. Currently at AWS, he brings a rare blend of embedded expertise—motor control, satellite transceivers, and PIC32 bare-metal work—from his lead role at Astronics, together with backend and frontend skills honed at Yahoo and Wayfair (Java/Scala/Python/React). He’s comfortable across Unix, C/C++, Python, and modern web stacks, and has delivered both high-performance device firmware and scalable server-side services for analytics, search, and content platforms. Known as a generalist who leads technical projects end-to-end, he often bridges hardware constraints and web-facing APIs to produce reliable, testable systems.
