Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Eklund is a Director of Software Engineering with 11 years of experience applying computational physics and software craftsmanship to HealthTech, spanning drug discovery, radiation transport simulation, microfluidics control, and in-vitro diagnostics. Trained in Computational Engineering Science at UC Berkeley, he combines deep scientific modeling (CUDA, numpy/scipy, GPU computing) with production-grade engineering for FDA Class III medical devices and cloud-scalable systems. He has led and scaled engineering teams at startups and established firms—most recently at SAGA Diagnostics and Xilis—while maintaining hands-on expertise in scientific algorithm development and QA for radiation oncology. Notably, his background includes building DSP and analytics pipelines that supported 100x growth and developing automodeling systems to match beam parameters to measured values, reflecting a rare blend of research rigor and operational delivery. Based in Durham, NC, he is comfortable navigating regulatory complexity and translating complex physics into auditable, production-ready software.
