Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Payne is a mission-driven data engineer and solutions architect with a decade of experience building end-to-end systems that turn complex data into operational impact. Currently at Booz Allen as a Palantir Data Engineer, he blends hands-on engineering with strategic architecture work gained from leading implementation and solutions roles across PVM and other firms. Comfortable in startup-like environments, he has acted as a de facto CTO—owning architecture, coding, customer strategy, and high-stakes delivery for "systems of systems." His background in mobile and cloud platforms (from Android development to managed cloud integrations) gives him a pragmatic cross-stack perspective when wrangling massive-scale data. Based in Virginia, he pairs people-first leadership with a knack for translating intricate mission needs into secure, executable technical plans.
