Alan Davison is an independent consultant and seasoned embedded software engineer with over four decades of experience rooted in medical device hardware and software. He combines Principal-level systems engineering and hands-on embedded firmware expertise with modern full-stack web development skills (Node.js, React, MongoDB), enabling end-to-end delivery from device firmware to cloud-connected interfaces. His background leading R&D and verification & validation at CareFusion/Cardinal Health reflects deep domain knowledge in regulatory processes, DMAIC, and change control for safety-critical products. Based in San Diego, he pairs a Cornell electrical engineering foundation with practical leadership across product engineering and software teams since the 1980s. As a consultant he uniquely bridges legacy medical-device systems and contemporary web stacks, often applying rigorous test-driven approaches and command-line fluency to streamline validation cycles. Quietly prolific, he brings the mindset of a principal engineer who still enjoys writing firmware and full-stack code.
