Summary
David Moody is an engineering manager with 10+ years building and scaling backend and infrastructure teams, now leading engineering at Zapier after a string of leadership roles at Credit Karma. He specializes in event-driven platforms and high-volume systems (60–100M daily events), driving platform strategy, team formation from 0-to-1, and successful scaling to millions of connected accounts. His work spans architecting ML/LLM and AI applications, launching data consent frameworks, and delivering time-sensitive AI features for partners like Intuit. A repeat impact award winner, he combines hands-on technical depth (Python, Java, distributed systems) with cross-functional leadership and a knack for design-pattern overhauls that speed feature development. Based in the Charlotte metro, he pairs an MS in Computer Science with a pragmatic focus on durable, production-ready AI and platform engineering.
