Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Nelson is a Senior Fullstack Software Engineer with 13+ years building high-impact, scalable web and mobile systems from UI to cloud infrastructure. He led front-end and architecture efforts that powered an "AdWords for medicine" product responsible for over 70,000 vaccinations in its first year and has deep hands-on experience modernizing UIs (AngularJS, React/Redux) and backend integrations (SAML, REST, AWS). A long-time contributor to the AngularJS ecosystem and a pragmatic advocate for testable, maintainable code, he combines performance tuning and automated deployment expertise with pragmatic product focus. He’s repeatedly cut latency and code surface area—once reducing perceived render time from 60s to 20ms and shrinking a UI codebase by 67%—and mentors teams on TDD and clean architecture. Based in San Jose, he brings a rare mix of front-end craftsmanship, distributed systems know-how, and history of shipping mission-critical features under tight deadlines.
