Top SchoolDavid Braley is a Senior Software Engineer with 11+ years building resilient cloud and on-premise systems, currently improving developer velocity and reliability at Khan Academy. He specializes in infrastructure, CI/CD, and DevOps practices, having modernized GCP usage, containerized development workflows, and contributed to Fastly Compute@Edge WASM transitions. David pairs hands-on engineering (Go, Rust, Kubernetes) with team leadership—running guilds, mentoring, and serving as scrum master and on-call support—so he bridges product needs and platform reliability. He’s pragmatic about tooling, authoring REPL-based production support utilities and extending golangci-lint to support dozens of custom linters used organization-wide. Based in Ypsilanti, he’s an active learner and teacher who enjoys tinkering with side projects when time allows.
