David Edelsohn is an innovative leader with over 30 years of experience in building and scaling technology ecosystems across AI, open source, Linux, Hybrid Cloud, and Blockchain environments. Known for anticipating challenges and designing forward-thinking solutions, David has consistently aligned technology innovations with business strategies to drive growth and efficiency. David is applying his diverse software and hardware ecosystem experience and leadership skills to the challenges at the forefront of the AI/ML industry, including the diverse hardware ecosystem, MLIR for AI/ML, open data, and data center design. A pioneer in Open Source Software and the Linux ecosystem, David has spearheaded the global expansion of the GNU Toolchain and enhanced IBM’s AI software ecosystem, contributing to billions in revenue. He initiated the open-source ecosystem on AIX, which has become essential for IBM’s clients, and played a key role in the development of PowerPC and PowerPC64 ports of GCC, as well as the PPC64 Linux ABI. David’s leadership extends to improving the software supply chain and advancing performance optimizations for AI/ML systems on Power and IBMz platforms. As IBM’s first official contributor to an open-source project (GCC) and a founding member of the GCC Steering Committee, David continues to champion open source across the organization and globally. David's technical contributions include the merger of EGCS and GCC, the development of major GCC features like auto-vectorization, auto-parallelization, and link-time optimization, as well as securing patent grants for GCC from IBM and Rice University. He has also led the GCC-Rust project, fostering security and performance in the Linux and Cloud ecosystems. David holds a Ph.D. in computational physics and is an ACM Senior Member, reflecting his deep technical expertise and commitment to innovation. Key Skills: AI Ecosystem Leadership & AI Accelerator Optimization Open Source Software Leadership Cross-Functional Leadership & Team Management Technical Strategy & Innovation Stakeholder Engagement & Negotiation Project Management & Mentorship Software Supply Chain & Performance Optimization Intellectual Property Strategy Data Provenance & Frontier AI Models A thought leader in cutting-edge technologies, David is also actively exploring the relationship between object representation and NFTs in the Metaverse, further solidifying his role at the intersection of technology, innovation, and emerging markets.

Web3 is taking the world by storm - one block at a time. My mission is to transform complex blockchain protocols into intuitive and enjoyable experiences. I firmly believe that money should be non-custodial, and its security properties should be underpinned by math. I'm a Staff Engineer at Brave where I work on Brave Wallet.

Envisioning to create robust and efficient software (inspired by but not limited to, the UNIX philosophy). A free software (Libre software) activist and deeply grounded by ethics that software should be able to consist of the following policies, namely obtaining a copy of the source (not violating copyright), redistribution of the source or binary either modified or unmodified (this is not a violation of payment for work, rather ensuring the software is secure and respects freedom of both users and enthusiasts, for all of them are commercial use), and convey modified work, satisfied that it does not conflict with or break the original covered work or if it is unnecessary. I'm someone who is driven by principles and standards, but would not mind breaking one (if not both) when problems arise that translate the very principles and standards to be insufficient, or simply if the objective does not align with the source incentive despite the aforementioned principles and standards complied. Personally, Algorithmic thinking and mathematical reasoning occupy the decisions I make, in both work and non-work-related activities alike. My core beliefs are: * A robust system shall presuppose a deep design philosophy constrained by coherent axioms. * Idioms shall be a mutable property, for they need not have convulating contradictions influencing practice of the former definition. * Practice must be predicated by constraints. Practically speaking, my core skills revolve around C and C++ (as I am migrating my work to C++) and I am fond of C++, I am learning to optimize my debugging skills with low level bytes and addresses as one would in C (I find it beatiful to think that C is a derivative of assembly). Since I make Linux based software, I'm keen on using bash instead of python but in order to expose my work in C++, I do sometimes use python.
