David Kim is a Design Engineer in the San Francisco Bay Area with eight years of experience building product-focused design systems and developer experiences. He’s taken multiple products from 0→1—most notably designing and engineering dbt Canvas and dbt Copilot—and now focuses on design infrastructure that scales. He’s led design and UI engineering for data infrastructure projects, including a database cache at ReadySet and internal tooling at Addepar that aggregates $3T+ in assets. Comfortable shipping both design and code, he’s often been the first design-engineer hire, created open-source and internal systems like Clockface, and now applies that blend of product and engineering at Braintrust.
