David Cuddeback is a polyglot software engineer with 15 years of experience building backend systems, distributed infrastructure, and even flight software for CubeSats. He has led platform and architecture efforts—most notably guiding a transition to service-oriented architecture and solving scaling and Kafka-related distributed consumer challenges at The RealReal. Comfortable across the stack from hardware-level control to user-facing interfaces, he favors simplicity to drive agility and reliability. As an early engineer at startups like pulse.io and Identified he designed data-processing pipelines and experimentation frameworks that materially cut acquisition costs and enabled rapid growth. Now based in Boulder and currently a stay-at-home dad, he brings deep production experience, a knack for infrastructure that quietly underpins products, and an engineer’s discipline honed in aerospace and high-scale web systems.
