Summary
Scott Fisher is a Staff Engineer based in Oakland with over a decade of experience building client-facing systems across iOS, Android, hybrid mobile, and web frontends, often interfacing with drones and embedded hardware. He champions Test-Driven Development and sociotechnical practices to align Product, QA, and Engineering, turning requirements into testable, observable, and refactorable architectures. At DroneDeploy he reduced manual drone testing to a 60-second automated suite and introduced a platform layer to reduce cross-team friction, and now drives technical culture at FieldAI. Scott blends hands-on implementation, hiring and team formation, and strategic architectural direction to deliver reliable, mission-critical apps. His background from MIT in EECS and early work automating database monitoring at Oracle reflect a foundation in systems thinking behind his pragmatic approach to quality and delivery.
