Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDavid Black is a systems engineer with 12 years of experience architecting and operating cloud-native infrastructure for high-growth software companies. He’s a founding member of multiple DevOps teams and has led large migrations—most notably moving PlanGrid off Heroku onto Kubernetes and driving Benchling’s migration from ECS to EKS while building a services framework and CI/CD pipelines. David combines hands-on engineering (Python backend work, observability, Vault/Istio) with people leadership, having built and managed teams to execute multi-region, international deployments. He’s comfortable across the stack from database migrations (MongoDB→Postgres) to production Kubernetes operations and datacenter moves. Now based in San Francisco and currently at Hudson River Trading, he brings a data-driven approach to reliability and developer enablement that consistently reduces operational friction.
