Senior🎓
Top SchoolPaul Pelzl is a systems architect with 17 years of experience building firmware, drivers, and high-performance I/O systems for the computer forensics industry. He combines embedded software craftsmanship with a strong math and EE systems background, having moved from research-grade numerical work and graduate instruction to product-focused engineering. As an early engineer at Tableau and now at Guidance Software, he has designed multithreaded applications and device firmware that power mission-critical forensic tools. Paul is comfortable across the stack—from low-level driver development to system architecture—and frequently tackles performance and concurrency challenges. His academic work in physics, applied mathematics, and systems EE (MS, ABD doctoral work) gives him a rigorous analytical approach that informs practical, robust designs. Based in Wisconsin, he’s continually seeking opportunities to learn and apply new techniques to embedded and systems problems.
