About Core Automation

Meet the Founder

I'm Andrew, founder and lead engineer at Core Automation.

Before starting Core Automation, I spent 15 years as an electrical and automation engineer across commercial and high-end residential projects in Europe and Australia. I kept encountering the same problem: beautiful homes let down by technology that was bolted on rather than built in. I founded Core Automation to do it differently.
