Senior🎓
Top SchoolRichard Baker is an experienced engineering manager based in Los Gatos with 13+ years leading global teams to deliver multimedia-rich mobile products across operating systems from Windows Mobile and Symbian to Android and Fire OS. He has repeatedly built and scaled distributed engineering organizations at Texas Instruments, Lab126/Amazon, and Meta, driving end-to-end execution from low-level drivers and codec integrations to product launches. Known for hiring, mentoring, and advancing engineers into leadership roles, he emphasizes practical automation and infrastructure—evidenced by systems that tied daily builds to distributed test farms and streamlined worldwide testing. His technical depth in multimedia, SOC integration (OMAP series), and cross-platform delivery is matched by a passion for turning conceptual product ideas into shipped reality.
