Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolGreg Hogan is a VP of Infrastructure with 11 years of professional experience who leads infrastructure at comma.ai from San Diego, bringing deep hands-on expertise in embedded systems, back-end engineering, and automotive tooling. He has a strong foundation in computer engineering from Iowa State and a long track record spanning startups and enterprise R&D at Atanasoft and DuPont Pioneer. At comma.ai he combines leadership with code-level contributions to high-profile open-source projects like openpilot, opendbc, and panda, improving video upload, Honda steering logic, CAN bus handling, and low-level drivers. Known for bridging firmware and cloud/backend concerns, he often moves between device drivers and infrastructure automation to ship reliable vehicle-integrated systems. An unadvertised strength is his knack for fixing subtle integration issues (pointer exceptions, CAN-FD quirks, CI exclusions) that keep complex robotics stacks running smoothly.
