Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDavid Milewicz is an Autonomous Vehicle System Software Engineer based in San Francisco with a decade of experience building real-time, safety-critical systems at NVIDIA and NASA. Trained originally in ecology and evolutionary biology at Yale, he brings a rare interdisciplinary perspective—pairing deep scientific inquiry with production-grade C/C++ and Go software for autonomy and telemetry systems. He has hands-on experience developing autonomous navigation, strategic conflict-avoidance algorithms, and backend services for telemetry streaming, as well as teaching computer architecture at the University of Pennsylvania. Comfortable across embedded flight stacks, avionics standards, and large-scale vehicle software, he focuses on bridging algorithmic research and robust system design. Outside of AV work, his early research pipeline for micro-CT feather analysis highlights a knack for turning complex scientific datasets into reproducible engineering workflows. This blend of field science, teaching, and mission-critical engineering positions him to tackle hard autonomy problems where safety and scientific rigor matter.
