Dave Rodenbaugh is a founder and seasoned software architect with 14 years of experience building high-throughput, production-grade systems and customer-facing products. He has repeatedly turned complex, transaction-intensive problems into robust, scalable solutions—from improving trade processing and search performance at asset managers to recovering hundreds of millions in e-commerce revenue with Recapture.io. Dave blends hands-on engineering (Java, Kafka, AWS, Docker/Kubernetes, React) with product instincts, launching plugins and SaaS that scale and monetize, and he currently launched a replacement for Intuit’s ItsDeductible. His background includes leading distributed teams, optimizing legacy platforms, and delivering dramatic performance gains (e.g., 1000x search improvement, removing two-thirds of code while increasing throughput). Based in Littleton, Colorado, he pairs pragmatic architecture with entrepreneurial grit and a track record of turning demanding business requirements into reliable, low-support systems. An undercurrent of his career is a focus on measurable impact—reduced support load, faster processing, and clear revenue recovery for customers.
