Summary
Dave Wallace is an Enterprise Front-end Architect with over a decade of experience designing accessible, performant, and reusable user interfaces for products at enterprise scale. Based in Wellington, he leads front-end strategy and implementation at Totara Learning Solutions, creating theme pipelines that balance out-of-the-box polish with partner customisability. His background spans hands-on front-end engineering, visual design and UX, team leadership, vendor management and organisational change across public and private sectors including NZTA and MFAT. He’s comfortable translating complex business requirements into secure, internationalised digital experiences consumed in constrained environments. Known for mentoring junior engineers and upskilling teams, he combines a designer’s eye with deep CSS and JavaScript craft. Outside the obvious, he treats front-end architecture as both technical stewardship and a way to amplify partner ecosystems.
