Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Gedye is a retired software development leader based in Seattle who has spent decades turning research-grade ideas into widely used products, from founding SETI@home to leading Photosynth and HoloLens-related programs at Microsoft. He combines systems-level thinking with product instincts—driving Azure Spatial Anchors and immersive imagery efforts that enable shared, persistent mixed-reality experiences across devices. Now self-employed and "learning new stuff," he is relearning modern coding practices after years of directing engineering teams, bringing hands-on curiosity to contemporary tooling and patterns. His career blends academic rigor (MS Berkeley, BS Hons Sydney) with pioneering distributed-computing and consumer-imaging projects few engineers have touched.
