Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDave Falke is a Senior Software Developer with 14 years of experience architecting and shipping production web applications, currently leading the frontend team for VEuPathDB at the University of Georgia. He designs scalable React/Redux frameworks and REST APIs that power 16 research-focused websites handling genome-scale, epidemiology, microbiology, and geospatial data for thousands of scientists. A pragmatic technical leader, he reduced onboarding time by 75% and delivery time by 60% through modular UI frameworks and introduced modern CI and local development tooling across the org. With a BA in Mathematics and Cognitive Science, he combines strong UX sensibilities with deep front-end engineering expertise and a collaborative, communication-first management style. Not obvious from the title: he’s as comfortable specifying feature timelines and stakeholder requirements as he is plumbing webpack configs and Jest tests to save developer time.
