About Don Carlton

Don Carlton is Chief Technology Officer at Bergan Marine Systems. Location: United States.

I’m a Chief Technology Officer specializing in industrial IoT, edge systems, and operational intelligence platforms—focused on turning real-world sensor data into reliable, decision-ready systems. My work sits at the intersection of hardware, software, and operations. I design and deploy end-to-end systems—from sensor integration to edge processing to cloud platforms—built for demanding environments where reliability is critical and failure isn’t an option. At Bergan Marine Systems, I lead the development of scalable platforms that: Transform raw sensor data into actionable metrics such as fuel onboard, transfer rates, and system health Operate autonomously at the edge when network connectivity is limited or unavailable Modernize legacy systems into stable, high-performance architectures Enable fleet-level visibility through real-time telemetry and analytics My focus is not just on building systems, but on building systems that perform reliably in the field—under real-world constraints. I’ve spent my career solving complex problems where software meets physical systems, particularly in marine and industrial environments. Currently interested in expanding impact in: Industrial IoT / Edge Computing Operational Intelligence Platforms Marine, Energy, and Fleet Systems Scalable sensor-to-cloud architectures
