Daniel Kohler is a senior firmware engineer in Los Angeles with 14 years of experience building safety-critical embedded systems across medical devices and regulated environments. He combines deep low-level expertise—HDL, ASIC evaluation, microcontrollers, device drivers, and circuit design—with practical software skills in C/C++, Linux, NodeJS, and web sockets to deliver end-to-end solutions. At Second Sight and Alfred Mann Foundation he led firmware for BLE and cybersecurity, designed a 60-channel measurement and DSP system, and authored validation protocols presented to FDA-level stakeholders. Comfortable mentoring and running small teams, he’s known for spotting gaps, proposing pragmatic innovations, and turning prototypes into production-ready tools. His electrical engineering MS and background in both hardware gate-level design and system software give him a rare full-stack embedded perspective that thrives under regulatory constraints.
