About the Speaker, Kevin McQuown:
I graduated from IIT with a B.S. in Computer Science with a Digital Electronics focus. After graduation, I was hired by General Dynamics (now Lockheed) where I spent several years working on embedded avionics development for special projects as the chief architect. I spent many years working for Rational Software as an embedded software architecture consultant, eventually running their professional services organization, worldwide.
I have been developing iOS mobile apps ever since there was the first iOS SDK. I have taught iOS for several years and have developed a high-school curriculum that is now deployed at over 9 high-schools throughout the Chicago metropolitan area.
I was CTO for-hire for Guard Llama and was the CTO and co-founder of Glance Displays Inc. I founded Windy City Lab in 2014 to provide consulting and education in the IoT space which is what I am currently doing full-time.
My passion is applying my skills across a broad spectrum of disciplines to build a physical product. This includes embedded development in C/ C++, mobile development in Swift, cloud development in Node, schematic and PCB design, and 3-D CAD design.
I also love to mentor and teach. I regularly do workshops on IoT and also teach a 3-week IoT & Robotics class to gifted high-schoolers at Northwestern University each summer.
