Austin, Texas, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Rodriguez is a pragmatic technology leader with over a decade of hands-on Java and full-stack experience who now serves as VP of Software Engineering in Austin, driving delivery, DevOps, and security across replicated production environments. He rose internally from individual contributor to executive, championing TDD, continuous delivery, and architecture practices while managing development, QA, operations, and customer support teams. His background includes migrating deployments to Kubernetes, implementing Vault for secrets, and strengthening encryption and SSO—work that reflects a systems-minded approach to reliability and data protection. A servant leader and mentor, he focuses on team joy and career growth as much as technical excellence, balancing roadmaps, budgets, and operational cadence. Notably, he combines enterprise Java expertise with practical infrastructure ownership learned earlier in semiconductor and HP roles, giving him rare cross-domain fluency in application, platform, and ops concerns.
