Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDakota Pitts-price is a growth-focused Principal Software Engineer based in San Francisco with over a decade of experience building scalable consumer products and engineering teams. He’s shipped high-throughput backends (10k RPS with sub-200ms latency), rebuilt React/Next.js frontends for 750K+ MAU, and designed auto-scaling AWS infrastructure and one-click deployments that accelerated Daycare.com from zero to $500K ARR in months. As a former founding CTO and recurring freelance “expert-vetted” engineer, Dakota blends product intuition, A/B testing and SEO-driven growth with hands-on systems work—from GPU-backed LLM deployments and large-scale media pipelines to on-device ML that processes full photo libraries in minutes. He’s equally comfortable leading teams or diving into prompts, TF-IDF pipelines, and ML-driven feature design, and has a track record of turning performance and onboarding bottlenecks into measurable growth.
