Summary
Dave Genest is a senior full stack developer with 20+ years in software engineering and a recent decade focused on modern JavaScript stacks, cloud-native AWS architectures, and event-driven systems. He has led teams and served as dev lead for settlement and attribution systems at Cambia, building React/Redux front ends, Node/TypeScript APIs, and .NET event producers that support financial reporting.
