Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDavid B is a pragmatic CTO and seasoned engineering leader with 10 years of formal experience and a long track record designing and operating large-scale networks and cloud-native platforms. He moved from network engineering roles at Spotify and Fastly—where he built automated, global network control and traffic-engineering systems—to lead backend and infrastructure efforts at Nhost, now serving as CTO. Hands-on across stack and open source, he’s contributed backend and dashboard improvements to nhost, helping stabilize project health and add autoscaler and TOML editor capabilities for an open-source Firebase alternative. Based in Madrid with ties to academic programs in Spain and Canada, he blends systems-level rigor with product sensibility and a taste for pragmatic engineering (and, per his bio, a dash of pixie dust).
