Speaker Biographies

David Baker, Director - Personal Form Factor Engineering, Software and Services Group, Intel Corporation

David currently manages a 30 person application engineering team. We work closely with mobile software companies, mostly in North America, to port and optimize their apps on Intel-based phones and tablets. We also run an innovation pipeline that quickly develops proof-of-concept apps to explore new user experiences.

With 21 years of Intel experience in embedded processors, application engineering, operations, marketing, Mergers and Acquisitions, healthcare and enterprise strategic partner engagements, David has managed a range of development tool, simulation and product engineering teams.

David holds a MSEE from Washington University and a BSEE from University of Michigan, and is patiently waiting for Michigan to return to collegiate football.

Michael Bair, Principal Engineer, Intel Corporation; BSEE University of Michigan

Michael is primarily centered in the world of HW Validation, but spends the majority of his time attempting to optimize Validation for the whole: SW, FW, Platform, and Devices. Michael began his career on the original Intel Pentium 4 design and continued on through other CPUs such as the Nehalem and Haswell processors, and currently works in the world of devices. Michael wrote much of the HW Validation philosophy for Intel, driving training and standards for much of the company. Beyond the technical day-job, Michael also spends considerable time building relationships between teams and teaching leadership, influencing, and career path classes.

Hang Nguyen, Sr. Principal Engineer and Lead CPU Architect, Intel Corporation
