Background

About Edward Oldak

The Earth is our home, and I'm here to help take care of her. I’m an experienced Building Automation Systems (BAS) Controls Engineer with a strong foundation in HVAC controls, energy optimization, and systems integration. I offer a rare blend of controls experience and software fluency, combining a deep knowledge of building systems with hands-on skills in Python, Raspberry Pi, and MongoDB. I’ve engineered custom building automation solutions and worked at the intersection of software and controls to support more intelligent, efficient, and responsive building systems. Most recently, I co-founded and operated a profitable holistic addiction recovery startup, where I led operations, sales, marketing, and client success. This experience sharpened my ability to make data-driven decisions, engage directly with customers, and design systems that deliver real-world results. I’m known for stepping into high-impact roles quickly, collaborating across teams, and leading complex projects often well beyond my tenure, driven by a track record of rapid learning and technical ownership. I’m now seeking an Engineering or Client-facing role at a mission-driven company, particularly one focused on smart buildings, property technology, or sustainability solutions. My mission is to help design, deliver, and scale tools and systems that contribute to decarbonization, climate resilience, and long-term environmental impact.
