Summary
David Fox-powell is a Principal AI Architect with 12 years of experience building developer-focused infrastructure, specializing in frontend build systems, monorepo architectures, and performance optimization. He has led high-impact migrations and tooling adoptions—replacing Webpack with a Rust-based bundler at HubSpot and creating monorepo infrastructure at Flexport that scales across teams. Known for authoring RFCs, design docs, and roadmaps, he blends hands-on engineering with mentorship and cross-organizational alignment. He frequently drives measurable gains in CI/CD and build performance while managing risk during large cutovers. Based in Los Angeles, he pairs a grounding in geological engineering with a career pivot into web and infra systems, giving him an uncommon systems-thinking perspective on complex migrations. Colleagues rely on him to simplify messy build stacks into maintainable, high-velocity developer platforms.
