Summary
David Boland is a Lead Application Developer based in Chicago with nine years of experience building high-traffic web and mobile applications using .NET, Node.js, C#, and native iOS (Obj-C/Swift). He combines hands-on engineering with technical leadership—architecting systems, setting up CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions, and managing distributed teams to deliver ecommerce and CMS solutions that drive revenue. At Nansen he led major projects from proposal to maintenance, integrating REST/GraphQL services and modern PaaS deployments; he now brings that delivery focus to Ecolab. Equally comfortable in backend APIs, SQL, and front-end JavaScript/HTML, he enjoys exploring IoT, AR, and new tech outside work, often prototyping with friends. His background in economics plus an MS in Computer Science gives him a pragmatic, data-informed approach to architecting solutions.
