Summary
David Fedele is a software engineer with 11 years of experience building scalable, user-focused web applications, currently contributing at Stripe after leading web engineering efforts at The Walt Disney Studios. He brings a rare blend of front-end craftsmanship (React, Angular, modern JS) and back-end familiarity (Node/Express, MongoDB, CI/CD, AWS), plus hands-on identity integration experience with OAuth and Ping Identity. His background in visual effects and character FX at DreamWorks and other studios informs a creative, pipeline-oriented approach to engineering problems and tooling. David has driven architecture and reusable component work, restructured legacy systems, and shipped consumer-facing mobile and streaming features like a custom Chromecast receiver. Equally comfortable collaborating across UX and product or tackling solo technical challenges, he consistently focuses on performance, scalability, and intuitive design. Based in Los Angeles, he pairs formal training in digital imaging and software engineering with a practical, production-first mindset.
