Summary
Theodore Vaida is a founder and CTO with 11+ years of experience designing and troubleshooting complex hardware/software systems at the intersection of embedded electronics and networking. He has led engineering and business teams across ASIC design, embedded storage, and ARM/MIPS/x86 system architecture, and today runs Exact Assembly delivering PCB, firmware, and embedded Linux/Yocto solutions for industrial, scientific and medical markets. Theodore’s background spans multi-million-gate ASIC layout to satellite modem and IP networking components, with hands-on expertise in Verilog, C/C++, device drivers and real-time OSes like Zephyr. He pairs deep low-level technical skill with commercial leadership—having held VP and business unit roles—so he understands both product-roadmap tradeoffs and manufacturability with local contract manufacturers. Based in Colorado Springs, he also builds cross-platform applications including OpenXR VR/AR work, reflecting a curious drive to bridge hardware, firmware and novel user experiences.
