Summary
Robert Huehn is a founder and senior software engineer with 10+ years of modern full-stack JavaScript experience and a long track record in embedded and multimedia systems. As creator of Theatersoft, he blends open-source smart-home platform design with pragmatic expertise in Node, React, ES2015+, and reactive/functional architectures. His background spans automotive and consumer electronics (infotainment, telematics), mobile apps, and media frameworks, with native integrations in C++ and embedded Linux stacks. He has led platform migrations and high-performance UI work (converting legacy ES5 to ES6, native add-ons, virtualization of rendering) and operated in cloud and containerized environments using Docker, Kubernetes, and Azure. Based in Redmond and alumni of the University of Waterloo, he combines startup founder instincts with deep systems-level knowledge, often pairing web-first stacks with low-level device integration. An understated strength is his ability to ship cross-platform client experiences that bridge browser, mobile, and constrained embedded targets.
