About David Haldane
I build things that work, and then I build what makes them work better. My background is in mechanical engineering R&D, where I focus on clever mechanisms, materials that behave, and designs that survive life outside the lab.Validation, DFX, ramp-ups are something I\'ve got a significant amount of experience in. I’m not afraid of documentation, but I’d rather let clean design speak for itself. Processes should help people, not slow them down. I specialize in showing the path to making the impossible merely improbable, and the tools to make that improbability a competitive advantage.
