Top SchoolDavid Aurelio is a Senior Software Development Engineer based in Munich with 16 years of experience building high-performance build systems, developer tooling, and mobile web UIs. He has deep language fluency in JavaScript, C++ and Python and a proven track record at companies like Facebook and Adobe, where he modernized build infra, migrated large codebases to Bazel, and powered client-side ML experiences for Firefly. A prolific open-source contributor, he has made substantial backend and build-engine improvements to widely used projects such as Buck, Metro and React Native—work that spans packaging, source maps, caching and platform-specific bundling. David combines low-level JNI/C++ performance work (Yoga, Profilo) with front-end UX improvements (Flipper, ComponentKit), making him effective across the full stack of mobile and web tooling. He’s particularly strong at turning complex build and asset challenges into reliable, debuggable developer workflows—an often unseen but critical accelerator for product teams.
