Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Henley is a Chief Systems Architect with nine years of hands-on experience designing and delivering .NET Core APIs, rich WPF desktop apps, and modern React front-ends while operating cloud infrastructure across Azure and AWS. Based in Nashville, he blends deep relational database expertise (MSSQL/Postgres) with pragmatic use of containers, Kubernetes, and event-driven patterns—currently studying distributed systems design and event sourcing. He has led systems and operations at Best Brands Inc. since 2011 and now shapes architecture strategy there, coupling production observability (Serilog, Seq, Sentry) with robust auth patterns (OAuth2/OIDC/Auth0). Comfortable across a broad stack from GraphQL/gRPC to React Native and Alexa skills, he brings a rare mix of desktop MVVM, backend services, and cloud-native deployment experience. His public codebase (github.com/davidhenley) reflects a practical, tool-focused approach rather than single marquee projects, signaling an engineer who prefers delivering reliable systems over chasing novelty.
