Summary
David Massart is a software engineer at Instagram with eight years of hands-on experience building developer tools and front-end applications, including a notable internship project that sped up Relay devtools data transfer by 8–9x. A Tufts CS graduate with international study in Japanese, he blends strong engineering chops (React, C++, Python) with product instincts honed as a co-founder and project manager for a cross-platform mobile app. He’s led student engineering organizations, matched nonprofits with technical solutions at JumboCode, and taught introductory CS to undergraduates, demonstrating both leadership and mentorship. Multilingual in English, Spanish and French and conversational in Japanese, he brings global curiosity to team collaboration and user-focused design. Outside work he composes music, bakes, and plays soccer—interests he says inform his collaborative, iterative approach to building software.
