Summary
Dahv Reinhart is a Senior Backend Engineer based in Berlin with a decade of hands-on experience building resilient, high-performance APIs and microservices. He blends a first-principles engineering mindset with a user-experience focus, driving measurable improvements such as a 75% reduction in critical API latency and a zero-impact OAuth migration at hyper-growth companies. Dahv excels at scaling both systems and teams—leading microservice launches, mentoring engineers, and helping grow product teams from single digits to dozens. Comfortable across TypeScript/Node.js, PostgreSQL, AWS, Docker and CI/CD workflows, he pairs process discipline with curiosity to simplify complex problems. He’s equally at home translating stakeholder needs into technical requirements as he is optimizing internals, and he brings a background in bioinformatics and research that informs his data-driven approach.
