Dave Altavilla

With a current 18 year career in the Semiconductor industry, Dave Altavilla started HotHardware.com almost a decade ago on a vision from the inside looking out but with a passion for the wonders of system-level developments and performance that culminate into the next generation products of tomorrow. Cultivated with the sweat-equity of time spent in the engineering backrooms and offices of Chief Architects at Wall Street bellwethers like Motorola, Cisco, Alcatel-Lucent and Nortel, Dave’s insight into the design and manufacturing of leading-edge technologies, brings a laser-sharp understanding of what it takes to deliver a best-of-class product to market. Dave currently handles final editorial responsibilities of HotHardware’s content, along with the site’s creative vision and business development efforts.
