Senior🎓
Top SchoolWilliam Mccormick is a senior software engineer and systems-minded electrical engineer with 11+ years of recent experience and a multi-decade career integrating controls, SCADA, and automation across automotive, material handling, and bulk processing industries. He combines hands-on embedded and PLC development with full-stack tooling—Linux servers, databases, networking and custom C/Perl solutions—to deliver industrial IoT and process-control systems. At companies from startups to research institutes he has led designs that blend off‑the‑shelf industrial hardware with open-source software and pragmatic DevOps for remote monitoring and maintainability. He contributes to open-source industrial projects as a backend developer, notably improving build and shared-library support in the OpENer EtherNet/IP stack to make field devices easier to package and deploy. Based in Dallas, he’s equally comfortable mentoring teams, doing systems engineering, and rolling up his sleeves on low-level build scripts or PLC logic. His background shows a rare continuity from early PLC programming at Chrysler to modern IIoT architectures, giving him deep practical context for bridging legacy and cloud-enabled control systems.
