Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Homley is a Senior Backend Engineer based in Adelaide with eight years of hands-on experience building backend systems, DevOps pipelines, and full-stack features across Java/Kotlin, Python, Spring/Dropwizard, Docker and modern front-end frameworks. He has progressed from embedded and firmware work to enterprise backend roles, bringing practical systems thinking from early IoT and ITS projects into scalable web services. David has delivered across startups and established teams (vintrace, Kraken, EatClub), often bridging gaps between infrastructure, APIs, and search platforms like Elasticsearch. Comfortable shipping end-to-end solutions, he pairs strong backend design with operational pragmatism and a bias toward measurable, production-ready outcomes. An electrical engineering background gives him an edge in low-level protocol and hardware-adjacent reasoning that informs robust integration and observability choices.
