Why SmartThings
SmartThings is a very unique company in that we are a part of Samsung, yet maintain a unique identity in both culture and name. We foster low ego collaboration as a team and organization, and strive to consistently provide exciting engineering opportunities. Here, you will get to build systems used by millions of users with cloud technologies built to scale to the growth of our open platform.
Who am I?
I attended the University of North Dakota and received a B.S. in Computer Science. Shortly after graduating, I relocated to Minneapolis, where I've held multiple engineering positions. I joined Samsung SmartThings as an entry-level software engineer, and through the years moved across numerous teams. Towards the end of my time as an engineer, I temporarily moved to South Korea and worked with our colleagues at Samsung HQ. Upon returning to the US, I pursued an opportunity to lead a team as an engineering manager with a passion for elevating the success of others through servant leadership.
