Top SchoolDavid Vankampen is a Chief Architect specializing in Embedded Linux with 13 years of cross-disciplinary experience in robotics, embedded systems, and IoT platform development. He combines deep hands-on skills in C, Python, Linux/UNIX, and CI/CD with a practiced focus on automation, testing, and shortening feedback loops from design to customer experience. At BISSELL he progressed from electrical and robotics lead to staff software engineer, and now drives architecture at Eaton, consistently removing team roadblocks and advocating DRY and MVP practices. He pairs system-level architecture and technical leadership with hardware experience in motor control, navigation, and control loops, enabling tight integration of software and moving systems.

Based in Grand Rapids, he brings a measurable bias for validating design decisions quickly to accelerate product learning and delivery.
