Mark Garrison is a seasoned engineering leader and entrepreneur with over a decade of experience building hardware and software products, currently serving as VP of Engineering at Saleae in San Francisco. He helped found and scale Saleae from its earliest days—famously commuting 700 miles to work full time during his final semester and launching a second product on graduation day—demonstrating urgency and product-first focus. Technically hands-on, he contributes to core tooling like the Analyzer SDK, implementing analyzers, simulation data generators, and build automation with CMake to streamline development and dependency management. His background in electrical engineering informs a pragmatic approach to test-and-measurement product design, blending firmware, backend systems, and automation. Mark pairs long-term industry ambition with a willingness to re-evaluate goals, bringing both stubborn execution and adaptable leadership to complex engineering challenges.
