Duane Bishop is a versatile electromechanical technician and engineer with 14 years of hands-on experience across embedded systems, industrial automation, CNC/machining, and heavy-mechanic roles. Currently supporting critical environments at Microsoft while leading electromechanical engineering and IIoT/SCADA efforts at SEDA North America, he blends field diagnostics and shop repairs with PCB design, PLCs, and closed-loop motion control expertise. Comfortable from low-level serial buses (RS232/RS485, CAN, i2c, One-Wire) to Linux-based data acquisition stacks and languages like C++, Python, C#, R and bash, he routinely bridges hardware and software to deliver reliable production systems. His background in heavy diesel maintenance and fabrications informs pragmatic machine design and durability-focused troubleshooting that reduces downtime in demanding environments. Known for a work-first, task-focused demeanor, he pairs meticulous time-and-parts accounting with rapid prototyping and visual/ML-enabled inspection experience. Based in Kenosha, WI, Duane brings a rare combination of shop-floor grit and embedded systems fluency that accelerates machine-to-cloud solutions.
