Senior🎓
Top SchoolDave Weston is a seasoned software engineer with 14 years of experience building and leading mobile and platform teams across Apple, Google, and Microsoft, currently contributing to Core ML and Create ML tooling at Apple. He specializes in iOS and macOS development, API and UX-focused design, and improving developer experience through clear, maintainable code and automation. As a tech lead at Google he modernized the Maps SDK for iOS—adding cloud-based map styling, Metal support, and a new beta distribution channel—while mentoring engineers in Objective-C and Swift. His open-source work on the HockeySDK-iOS shows a pragmatic focus on robustness and platform compatibility, including lifecycle, extension, and memory-pressure fixes. Colleagues value his principle of leaving systems better than he found them: he systematically trades repetitive work for tools and pipelines that scale. Based in Seattle, he blends large-company delivery with a builder’s curiosity rooted in full-stack and backend experience from earlier startup roles.
