Dave Cavalcanti Email & Phone Number

I am technical leader with extensive experience in R&D, innovation, industry collaboration, standards, system architecture, and project/program management. I am currently holding technical leadership roles at Intel and Avnu Alliance driving R&D, product architecture, industry ecosystem activities and standards. I have been able to contribute to the advance of wireless connectivity, networking and time-sensitive distributed computing systems through an extensive network of partnerships across the industry. In my roles as Principal Engineer at Intel, I have been solving networking challenges to enable real-time distributed applications and systems. I’ve initiated and lead research programs, industry/academic/government partnerships to advance distributed real-time computing and networking involving Ethernet/Wi-Fi/5G connectivity and Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) technologies. I also drive product architectures to ensure deterministic compute and networking performance across platforms and networks. I’ve developed innovations that contributed to multiple generations of the Wi-Fi/802.11 standards. At Avnu Alliance, I lead industry ecosystem activities to enable converged networks based on Ethernet, Wi-Fi, 5G, and TSN standards. I lead the development and execution of Avnu interoperability testing and certification programs. I manage operational, marketing and strategic aspects of the alliance which includes approximately 60 member companies.In my role as Principal Member Research Staff at Philips Research North America, I led research programs developing innovations for wireless connectivity and networking to enable healthcare applications and cyber-physical systems, such as smart buildings/cities. I designed and evaluated networking solutions for QoS (Quality of Service) provisioning and power efficiency of Wi-Fi-based patient monitoring products. I developed and proposed enhancements to the IEEE 802.11 standard to better support time-critical applications. I also managed and contributed to Government projects, including DOD and DOE projects, involving application of wireless connectivity and data-driven services in smart cities and buildings.For a full version of my resume, please message me directly.
