David Engebretsen is a seasoned technical fellow with over two decades of experience turning cutting‑edge research into production products, primarily at IBM and more recently in healthcare and medical device AI. He combines deep systems expertise—firmware, hypervisors, OS/kernel work, high‑performance network packet processing and real‑time streaming analytics—with applied machine learning for domains like ECG analysis and cybersecurity. A proven global leader, he has led distributed engineering teams, guided technology partnerships and acquisitions, and served as a trusted technical advisor to C‑level executives. His career blends hands‑on implementation (C/C++, assembly, kernel and firmware) with strategic responsibilities in IP, open source compliance and architecture boards, and he was recognized as an IBM Master Inventor. Based in Rochester, MN, he often operates at the intersection of hardware and software to push line‑rate, real‑time processing limits that few generalist engineers tackle.
