David has served since 2009 as technical lead for a series of highly optimizing compilers targeting special-purpose, Exascale class systems designed and built for DOD missions. 

Prior to joining Reservoir in 2006, David worked at The Portland Group (PGI) where he developed key optimizations and code generation capabilities for the C/C++/F90 compiler product family targeting HPC systems.  There he also served as lead engineer for a compiler targeting DSPs; the project led to the acquisition of PGI by STMicroelectronics.

David holds a BS in computer science from the University of Oregon (1995) and a MS in computer science and Portland State University (2009).
