Biography

Hello there! I’m Isaac Taylor, the person steering this Smart Home Explained ship. I’ve dedicated my career to the Smart Home industry, having had the incredible opportunity to work for tech giants Amazon and Apple, as well as others in the Smart Home space. While at Amazon, I originated on the Amazon Fire Phone team. Read more about my takeaways here. That led to my further involvement with smart devices where I later built thermostat integration, Insteon, Wink, and SmartThings into Alexa. I also currently hold a patent for naming conventions with Smart Home (view my patent here). While at Apple, I continued my passion for Smart Home technology, building Irrigation System support and a disambiguation system into Siri, and more. I also managed the Siri Home Automation Team itself. Before working for these tech juggernauts, I graduated USF with a Master’s and a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science. After completing my thesis on improving energy consumption in mobile phones (you can read my white paper here), I continued my work on smart devices that ultimately led to working at AT&T, Amazon, and Apple. When I’m not tinkering with Smart Home Explained, I can be found consulting for both small and large-sized companies on breaking into the Smart Home and engineering space. I’m actively consulting on Guidepoint, AlphaSights, and and handful of other platforms. I invite you to check out my about page for more info.
