Top SchoolDavid Mcgrath is a senior full-stack engineer based in Durham, NC with 13 years of experience and a strong frontend specialty, particularly in React and TypeScript. He has a track record of owning mission-critical internal webapps—designing responsive, real-time interfaces and collaborating closely with UX designers and internal users to deliver practical, empathy-driven solutions. His background spans modernizing front-end stacks, building component libraries, and improving backend APIs across companies from Rackspace to startups like Ever/Body and Talkspace. Comfortable operating in both large organizations and small self-managed teams, he balances high-level planning with hands-on implementation and mentorship. Notably, he pairs a careful, compassionate approach to team collaboration with a habit of making small backend tweaks when they save other developers significant time.
