Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Driscoll is a backend-focused software engineer with 12 years of experience building consumer and developer-facing endpoints, currently developing zero-to-one enterprise features at Grammarly. He specializes in Scala and the Twitter stack, AWS-hosted microservices, and data pipelines, and has repeatedly owned feature end-to-end from tech spec to implementation and tests. His background in digital academic research and a PhD in Classics inform a data-driven, user-centered approach—evident in a past project that visualized geospatial patterns in ancient poetry and was later rewritten to run entirely client-side. At Foursquare he led and shipped complex features like push notifications, Year-in-Review analytics, and billing migrations while mentoring new engineers. Comfortable with DynamoDB, Mongo, Spark/Scalding, Java Spring, and frontend glue, he blends rigorous engineering practices with an unusual humanities-trained perspective on product and data.
