David Navarro is a Director of Engineering and IoT pioneer with 25+ years of embedded systems experience, from Palm OS development to leading Intel’s device management efforts and co-founding IoTerop. He architects and ships constrained-device software—having been the lead developer of IoTerop’s embedded LwM2M agent and a maintainer on projects like Eclipse Wakaama—while also shaping industry standards as an Open Mobile Alliance SpecWorks board member. His work blends low-level C engineering, device management protocols, and product roadmapping, with a particular knack for hardening bootstrap and server handling in lightweight device clients. Based in the Montpellier area, he has repeatedly moved specifications into production-grade stacks for carriers, OEMs and IoT platforms. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic standards evangelist who pairs deep protocol knowledge with hands-on debugging of test clients and build systems.
