Eric Ortega is a Senior Developer Scientist with over 25 years of software development and management experience and a PhD in Biomedical Engineering. He combines deep applied-math expertise—linear algebra, optimization, probability, and neural nets—with extensive hands-on C++/Matlab development across Windows and Unix, and a decade working with large datasets and image analysis/visualization. Eric has led teams and programs from academic prototypes into production, including DO-178B safety-critical avionics software and Java debloat tools used in CI/CD and DevSecOps pipelines. Comfortable bridging technical, product, and commercial stakeholders, he has managed distributed teams and high-profile field issues for aerospace customers. Rarely obvious from a title, he pairs rigorous research-grade verification practices with pragmatic engineering to transition lab tools into reliable, scalable software.
