Top SchoolDavid Knoppers is a Technical Lead and backend-focused software engineer with nine years of experience building microservices, data pipelines, and reliable distributed systems for consumer products. Currently leading Quizlet's Practice Tests team, he architects cloud-native infrastructure and integrations using Python, Kotlin, Go, Kubernetes, Terraform, and GCS while optimizing performance with Redis, Datadog, and SQL/noSQL stores. A former high-school math teacher with a BS in Geography, he brings strong data-minded problem solving and a habit of turning complex requirements into teachable, maintainable systems. He has driven growth-focused backend features at Shopkick—from promo-code platforms to receipt processing—and is equally comfortable with SRE practices as with backend API design. Outside of work he avidly reads about environmental science and STEM education, a thread that ties his technical craft to broader societal interests.
