Summary
David Everett is a senior embedded software and firmware engineer with three decades of hands-on experience building multithreaded, event-driven systems for robotics, IoT, networking, and consumer devices. Since 1996 he has operated as an independent consultant, specializing in hierarchical state-machine designs, robust protocol stacks, device drivers and scalable, extensible firmware across RTOS and bare-metal environments. He combines high-level problem decomposition with pragmatic implementation in C/C++, Python and Java, delivering simple solutions to complex embedded problems and frequently questioning designs to improve efficiency and maintainability. His background spans Linux/Embedded Linux, FreeRTOS, VxWorks and several proprietary executives, and he has deep practical experience with BLE, Wi‑Fi, USB, CANbus, MQTT and HTTP APIs. Based in California, he has a long record of shipping production systems for diverse customers and often surfaces nonobvious failure modes early through careful architecture-driven analysis.
