Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDavid Emett is a software engineer with 11 years of experience, currently focused on blockchain and infrastructure at Parity Technologies. He brings deep DevOps and build engineering skills from a long technical tenure at Broadcom, where he operated at senior/master engineer level. At Parity he contributes to Substrate, a leading open-source blockchain framework, working on CI/CD, deployment automation (Ansible AWX), and consensus-related code changes that bridge ops and protocol layers. Trained in computer science at the University of Cambridge, he combines rigorous academic grounding with practical expertise in artifact management and deployment pipelines. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic solutions that make complex distributed systems repeatable and auditable in production. Notably, he moves comfortably between scripting deployment workflows and touching consensus-level code—an uncommon full-stack angle in blockchain engineering.
