David Bondy is a Site Reliability Engineer with 11 years of full-stack and backend experience, now driving reliability and cost-efficiency at Deloitte after a long tenure at Expensify. He combines deep SQL and database engineering chops—evidenced by backend contributions to Expensify’s Bedrock distributed database—with practical SRE skills managing Kubernetes, Terraform, ArgoCD, and observability at scale. David has a track record of translating technical work into business impact, from a $1M annual AWS cost-savings initiative to a 48% revenue lift by launching a credit card product. He introduced incident management and SLO-driven observability where none existed, helped maintain 99.9% critical uptime, and routinely turns complex data queries into actionable product and compliance insights. Based in Superior, Wisconsin, he pairs a designer’s eye (BFA in Photography) with pragmatic engineering, and even adapts LLM outputs to match his own voice for clearer team communication.
