Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDavid First is a Senior Software Developer with 13 years of experience building scalable web platforms and developer tooling from Miami. He’s been a core contributor to Bit, an open-source TypeScript platform for composable software, where his full-stack work fixed complex component self-reference issues and advanced lint/format and rename behaviors. Previously he led migrations from legacy PHP/Drupal to Symfony-based architectures, implemented Elastic-backed search at scale, and helped SaaS products support large enterprise clients. Comfortable across back-end services, front-end frameworks, CI, and devops, he blends hands-on coding with pragmatic architecture decisions. Early roots in systems and IT management give him a practical mindset for operational reliability and integrations.
