Summary
David Goldman is a veteran software engineer with over three decades of cross-platform development experience and 11 years focused on modern mobile and web ecosystems. He has led iOS architecture and feature development at eBay and PayPal, including technical leadership of the card.io credit-card-scanning SDK where he applied computer vision and deep learning to overcome camera and memory constraints. Comfortable in Objective-C, Swift, C++ and many legacy languages and platforms, he excels at rapidly becoming productive in unfamiliar codebases and modernizing complex systems. His background spans everything from IBM 360 and PDP-11-era systems to contemporary iOS apps that drive significant revenue, plus hands-on open-source stewardship. Based in Portland, he combines deep low-level knowledge (assembly, VMS) with practical product-focused engineering and mentoring experience. A former physician-turned-developer, he brings unusual domain breadth and a pragmatic, system-level perspective to tough engineering problems.
