Dave Blundell is a pragmatic, results-driven engineering leader with 11 years of experience building and scaling mobile teams and products from startup to enterprise. Currently an Engineering Manager at Google in San Francisco, he previously led iOS and mobile engineering at SiriusXM and Pandora, shipping major platform launches (including HomePod integration and timely iOS platform features) and rebuilding SiriusXM’s app on SwiftUI and modern concurrency.

His background in both server-side systems and mobile UX, plus a dual CS and Creative Writing degree from NYU, gives him a rare mix of technical depth and product-minded storytelling.
