Summary
Gregory Holt is an R&D partner technologist and PI System architect with over two decades of hands-on experience building telemetry, time-series, and IoT systems from edge devices to cloud backends. He has led product architecture and engineering teams at AVEVA, Tesla, and OSIsoft, driving core innovations such as an edge data store, PI Cloud services, and telemetry infrastructure for Tesla Energy. Gregory blends deep systems-level engineering on Linux/embedded platforms with product and people leadership, frequently stepping into engineering management, hiring, and cross-team technical alignment. He emphasizes secure development practices and a high technical bar while mentoring dispersed teams and delivering customer-facing solutions. Based in Johnson City, Tennessee, he pairs practical craftsmanship with a history of shipping resilient, high-performance event storage systems for industrial and energy domains. A less obvious strength is his repeated role as the connector between product vision and low-level implementation details, ensuring designs are both ambitious and operable.
