Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDavid Huie is an engineering manager and founder with seven years of professional experience building secure, scalable infrastructure and observability platforms from startup to enterprise scale. Currently leading Core Infrastructure and observability at Retool and running Vibrato, he combines production cloud, on‑prem and BYOC deployment expertise with hands‑on voice/telephony engineering that delivered 99.9% uptime and SOC 2 compliance. Previously he led Threat Detection at Datadog, architecting detection-as-code and petabyte-scale pipelines that turned telemetry into actionable security signals. An active open-source contributor, his work on the high-performance Vector observability pipeline improved Redis ingestion, schema support, and testing robustness. He pairs a Harvard Mudd CS education mindset with founder grit, equally comfortable shipping product features, designing secure systems, and mentoring high-velocity teams.
