Summary
Brandon Guttersohn is a Senior Team Leader in Software Engineering at Garmin with nine years of experience turning wrist-worn sensor data into reliable consumer features. He leads the Biomedical Sensors and Algorithms team, balancing hands-on algorithm design (PPG, ECG, accelerometer) and embedded C/C++ production work with people leadership for a vertically integrated stack. His background spans DSP, data science in Python, driver and firmware development, and tooling that sped simulations and developer workflows. Brandon led Garmin’s first-generation Elevate wrist pulse oximetry effort and architects post-processor APIs that reduced developer friction. A lifelong learner and textbook collector, he pairs a Georgia Tech MS in Computational Perception and Robotics with an appetite for Lisp and playful engineering speed. Based in Kansas City, he’s equally comfortable debugging on an oscilloscope as he is guiding research priorities and mentoring engineers.
