Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Switzer is a senior software engineer and embedded systems architect with 11+ years of experience building mass-market device and infotainment software, now based in Victoria, BC. He has led large-scale refactors and platform migrations for automotive and telematics products (Yocto Linux, BSP, Bluetooth/TCU architectures) and prototyped container-based upgrade strategies to modernize legacy device stacks. A serial founder and owner of Madison Labs, he blends low-level firmware expertise (C/C++, FreeRTOS, ESP32, nRF) with mobile and cloud experience from startups and Microsoft, where he worked on Tablet PC input and power management. David’s pragmatic engineering is informed by entrepreneurial instincts—he’s shipped products, navigated supply-chain-driven hardware pivots, and turned prototypes into commercial demos and customer wins. Not obvious from titles: he repeatedly bridges hardware, firmware, and cloud/software teams, recruiting partners and consultancies to accelerate roadmaps and unstick sales-blocking technical problems.
