Senior Engineer with 6+ years of experience designing and scaling high-performance web and mobile applications using React, React Native, and Next.js. Proven record of leading cross-functional teams, modernizing stacks, and improving developer velocity through technical mentorship and process innovation.
While the previous role may have been David's first look into the start-up space, this current role is equally as important for the growth of his skillset! At Shamrock, David is getting his first experience with mobile development and serverless architecture. He continues to get caught up to speed at a break-neck pace and isn't afraid to dive into the unknown. He also strives to incorporate his previous skills by helping to introduce common standards and best practices.
Some of the things David has accomplished while at Shamrock Trading Corporation include:
Upgraded React Native across several major versions, modernizing the mobile stack and reducing technical debt with zero delays or regressions
Significantly reduced back-and-forth between developers and stakeholders, creating more heads down time for developers
One of the company’s largest initiatives to date, driving growth through self-service onboarding opportunities
Advised teams on best practices, established testing standards, and enabled faster development cycles through mentorship and code review support
This was David's first experience with a start-up company. There were no issues with the fast paced environment and the expanded scope of responsibilities provided to be an amazing opportunity. Here, he continued his pattern of rapid onboarding and impactful contributions. Also worth noting, the choice was made to transition from a Full Stack developer to Front End specific so that focus of knowledge could be towards a specific point rather than in a broader, general direction.
Some of the things David accomplished while at Mythical Games include:
Accelerated partner integrations and revenue growth by enabling rapid deployment of customized client sites
Authored documentation, diagrams, and led training sessions, enabling other teams to deploy independently
Completed all work in half the estimated time and received company-wide recognition
David was a member of a small team with the focus of improving the Consumer Platform. He was able to quickly get caught up to speed and make large contributions early at the company.
A summary of David's largest accomplishment while at Blue Apron:
Delivered on schedule with no major post launch defects
David acted as an essential team member of a core services and tooling team. Being an internal team meant that development could happen much more quickly, but also that when standards were changed his team had to be among the first to adapt.
While David got great initial training, the frequently changing environment put that training to the test. As a result, he was the engineer that people came to when searching for a resource on the products and services owned by the team.
David's early accomplishments at Cerner can be summarized as:
General knowledge across most AWS product offerings
Students were prepared for the A+ Certification exam through a combination of virtual and in-person exercises.
