David Rossetti Email & Phone Number

I was once insulted by my boss. I had remarked that he was asking me to do things that an engineer couldn't do, and he said that was because I was a "Technologist" and not an engineer. At the time, I identified as an engineer and felt this was an insult, but of course he was right. Engineering projects come and go but the ability to learn, synthesize, and move forward is constant. As a technologist, it truly bugs me when I don't understand something. I'll do research on virtually everything that is adjacent to what I'm working on. I can't tell you how often this has proven to be an advantage, often by providing the ability to translate between people with different technology backgrounds or between technology and business. Another advantage is the desire & ability to help my colleagues. The time I spend helping is more than repaid by what I learn by going through the process.Instead of a list of technological expertises or accomplishments, I'll give a list of story headlines from my career:• Extensive work in standardization bodies including 3GPP leading to 17 US Patents so far.• 10's of millions of cellular subscribers benefitting from technology that I first conceived of • Uncovered cybersecurity flaws and brought to standardization bodies for mitigation.• Served as an expert on a panel at an industry trade show.• Testified as an expert witness to a government agency.• Deposed as an expert witness in an intellectual property case.• Assisted the FBI during the Beltway Sniper investigation.• Developed system overnight to support September 11th recovery efforts in lower Manhattan.• Volunteered for Operation Desert Storm as civilian support for a military tactical radio deployment (war ended before deployment).• Sent the first SMS message in New Jersey• Conceived of the method where Daylight Savings Time changes are correctly handled by your cell phone.• Urban Video Analytics• Problem solving during military war games…under the gun (literally).

Listed skills include Cdma, Lte, Wireless, 3Gpp, and 12 others.
