Summary
David Havera is a Principal Software Architect at GE Aerospace with nine years of experience blending software architecture, data science, machine learning, and blockchain to deliver auditable, customer-focused solutions. He champions the shift from model-as-illustration to model-as-documentation by integrating MBSE into software lifecycles and authors comprehensive development plans for innovation projects. Previously he led blockchain delivery at SIMBA Chain and drove ML and blockchain integrations at GE Digital that recovered $10M in cash and improved spare-parts re-induction rates, demonstrating an ability to tie advanced tech to measurable financial outcomes. His background in finance and operational leadership (including ERP and FP&A work within GE) lets him bridge engineering, product, and business needs effectively. Currently pursuing a Master’s in Computer Science at UIUC, he combines formal CS training with nanodegrees in ML and blockchain, making him adept at moving proofs-of-concept into production-grade systems. An underappreciated strength is his track record of using workflow state machines and automation to enforce data integrity across complex enterprise processes.
