David has served since 2009 as technical lead for a series of highly optimizing compilers targeting special-purpose, high-performance systems.

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).
