Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Cottrell is an engineering manager with 11 years of experience building and leading teams that deliver scalable SaaS and media platforms, currently managing engineering at Pluto TV. He combines hands-on full‑stack expertise—especially Golang, Python, TypeScript, Kubernetes, and React—with a focus on Technical Excellence: creating tools and processes that improve platform stability, developer velocity, and time-to-market. At Verizon he led a Technical Excellence team that shipped an in-house cross-cluster Kubernetes deployment tool with web and CLI clients, and has repeatedly shortened deploy cycles and modernized microservice architectures. Comfortable across backend, frontend, and infrastructure, he’s equally at home designing webhook and playback services as he is optimizing CI/CD and developer workflows. Based in Lehi, Utah, he brings a pragmatic, opinionated approach to engineering decisions and a track record of turning operational pain points into reusable platform solutions.
