Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolDan Ali is a Technical Director and embedded systems specialist with 11 years building and leading teams that design, prototype, and deploy high‑stakes firmware and software—most notably architecting the multi‑processor payload software for Jacobs’ Mango One research satellite that launched on a Falcon 9 and remains on orbit. He combines deep low‑level expertise (C/C++, ARM Cortex-M0+/A53, RFSoC) with systems thinking, having delivered on-board image formation, phase‑history compression with orders‑of‑magnitude gains, and enterprise‑scale intrusion detection and endpoint mitigation deployments. Dan excels at integrating custom hardware, real‑time signal processing, and scalable parallel execution across diverse processor families to meet hard deadlines for mission and launch schedules. He is pragmatic, hands‑on, and comfortable reversing complex embedded stacks as well as leading cross-disciplinary teams from prototype to flight‑ready systems. Outside work he self-identifies with playful technical curiosity—programmer and gamer—which often surfaces in creative engineering solutions.
