Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Petrizze is a firmware engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience and a 19-year software background, currently building embedded systems for Teal Drones in Salt Lake City. He blends deep control-theory interest with pragmatic software architecture, having led firmware efforts at Sarcos where he implemented OTA updates, battery-control algorithms, and simulated PMSM dynamics for FOC. His work spans low-level drivers and higher-level systems — from radio sync protocols and secure update flows to REST backends and React frontends during a company pivot — demonstrating rare full-stack fluency in robotics contexts. Pragmatic and curious, he experiments with build systems and CI to produce robust, maintainable firmware and has a habit of designing real-time networking protocols for state synchronization in his spare time.
