Summary
James Mcglynn is a Senior HVAC Controls Programmer with 13 years of cross-disciplinary experience bridging chemical engineering, energy efficiency, and software development. He began his career as an energy engineer and progressively shifted into software and controls roles, bringing domain expertise in building systems to developer-focused positions at CodeGreen, T.M. Bier, and HIVERY. Now based in Scarsdale, NY, he applies software engineering practices to HVAC controls, automations, and energy optimization, translating physical system constraints into reliable, maintainable code. His background in chemical engineering gives him a systems-thinking approach and a knack for modeling complex thermal and control interactions that aren’t obvious from a typical software resume. Colleagues know him for blending hands-on field insight with pragmatic software solutions that improve efficiency and reduce operational risk.
