David Everly
I design intelligent systems with explicit assumptions about failure, misuse, and operational risk — informed by years of critical care practice.
An engineering mindset shaped by real-world system failure, time pressure, and safety-critical decision-making.
I’m a critical care nurse practitioner who transitioned into systems engineering after repeatedly seeing software and workflows fail under real-world stress. During COVID, system failures weren’t theoretical — they directly impacted safety, decision-making, and resource availability. That experience shaped how I design software systems: I assume pressure, misuse, partial failure, and evolving requirements from the start. Healthcare is where this perspective was forged, but my engineering work spans intelligent systems and security-adjacent domains where reliability, correctness, and operational resilience matter.
