Summary
David Rush is a seasoned principal infrastructure engineer with 16+ years building scalable, networked systems for finance and media, currently shaping FX risk-management architecture at SS&C in Ireland while also teaching Hatha, Vinyasa, and Yin yoga. He blends deep systems and protocol design expertise—C++ refactoring, distributed scalability, and operational analysis—with a long-standing curiosity in language design, information theory and data mining that he enjoys applying to practical business problems. As a founding partner at a data-focused startup and former principal architect at AOL, he brings both technical leadership and product-minded decision-making to complex, high-stakes environments. Outside engineering he explores creative hacking with Pure Data and brings that experimental mindset into both teaching yoga and solving software challenges.
