Summary
Tim Davey is a versatile acoustic guitarist and retired software engineer based in Minneapolis with 17 years of professional engineering experience and a music career stretching back to the late 1980s. He has released five CDs and multiple digital singles and tapes, with his 2020 EP Surprised blending original songs and solo fingerstyle arrangements of hymn tunes available on major streaming platforms. As a senior software engineer at Siemens PLM he specialized in C/C++, database interfaces, DBMS portability, and test-driven development, helping teams ship reliable, well-documented products and lead bug-fix efforts. Known for Responsibility, Harmony, Consistency, and Developer strengths, he builds trust, fosters consensus, and cultivates talent in cross-functional teams. After stepping away from full-time engineering via a voluntary separation, he briefly worked in bicycle and board service before focusing on music and independent projects. That combination of disciplined engineering practice and decades of solo performance gives him a rare blend of technical rigor and creative musicianship.
