Todd Fischer is a seasoned founder and embedded systems architect with 16+ years designing and shipping Linux-based hardware and software solutions, particularly focused on embedded Linux, GStreamer, and device drivers. As founder of RidgeRun and owner of Cadenux, he has led engineering teams to create Linux SDKs and streaming audio/video products for commercial embedded processors. His background stretches from system architecture at Hewlett-Packard to hands-on kernel and driver work, giving him rare full-stack fluency across hardware, low-level software, and application layers. Based in Boise, Idaho, he pairs academic rigor—a Summa Cum Laude BS and an MSEE—with entrepreneurial grit to solve customer problems end-to-end. Notably, his career emphasizes practical open integrations that turn complex multimedia and embedded requirements into production-ready devices.
