Summary
David R is a Senior Embedded Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building firmware that ships across medical and industrial products, currently developing implantable-device software at Synchron. He specializes in bare-metal and RTOS-based firmware (Zephyr, FreeRTOS) and has deep hands-on experience with nRF52 and STM32WB5 platforms, IMU drivers, and motion-processing toolchains. At StrongArm Tech he created C and Python tools that translate custom binary device logs into CSVs and visualizations, accelerating algorithm validation and firmware iteration. His background spans hobbyist-to-production work—writing Arduino libraries, PCB layouts, and ESP8266/ESP32 firmware—so he bridges firmware, hardware, and developer tooling. Based in the NYC metro area, he pairs pragmatic engineering with a history of leading teams and projects, from co-founding a university martial arts club to shipping regulated medical firmware. An uncommonly practical engineer, he often ships the small developer utilities and test harnesses that dramatically reduce time-to-validate for embedded features.
