Dave Augustine is a versatile engineer-founder with 16 years of experience building product-driven web platforms and teams from the ground up. Based in San Francisco, he has led product and engineering efforts at Airbnb—helping create Open Homes and scaling Experiences—and co-founded Critical Juncture (FederalRegister.gov) and The Time Travel Company, blending hands-on development with product strategy. He prefers small, mission-driven teams tackling early-stage social problems and has a track record spanning front-end, backend, reliability, and tooling. Currently transforming a historic oceanside building into Saw Wave Studio while consulting and advising, he mixes creative, slightly unconventional projects with pragmatic engineering discipline.
