Top SchoolDave Cahill is a Technical Fellow based in Tokyo with 13 years of experience building production-scale systems, currently focused on LLMs and agentic AI that move from prototype to broad production. He combines hands-on engineering with strategic leadership at Indeed, shipping AI voice-chat interviews, an agentic staffing chatbot, and a 24/7 support assistant while guiding identity, login, and re-architecture efforts. His background spans backend and infrastructure work—from contributing networking and virtualization improvements to Apache CloudStack to leading large codebase migrations to Kubernetes. A pragmatic architect and mentor, he has repeatedly balanced urgent delivery with long-term platform improvements and raised engineering standards across teams. He brings a rare mix of low-level systems craftsmanship (KVM, networking, DevOps tooling) and applied AI productization, plus experience presenting technical work in both Japanese and English.
