Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDavid Kim is a design-minded engineer with nine years of cross-functional experience building developer-facing products and design infrastructure from early prototypes to shipped features. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, he’s blended product design and engineering roles at startups and scaleups—leading UI engineering at ReadySet, taking dbt Canvas and dbt Copilot from 0 to 1 at dbt Labs, and now working as a Design Engineer at Braintrust. His background spans front-end tooling, developer experience, and data-facing products (time-series and database caching), giving him a rare fluency in both interaction design and production engineering. He gravitates toward hard product problems rather than titles, pairing human-centered design training from the University of Washington with a CS foundation from the University of Richmond. Colleagues know him for shipping pragmatic prototypes that drive product direction and for treating design infrastructure as a first-class engineering concern.
