Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDavid Scales is a software engineer with 10 years of experience building developer-facing tools and high-traffic front ends, particularly using TypeScript and Web Components. He helped ship features for developer.google.com, single-handedly built a TensorFlow model-evaluation microservice that accelerated a certification launch, and co-authored Google’s Progressive Web App training materials used broadly by developers. A proven automation-focused engineer, he cut a grading SLA from 45 to 2 days and turned multi-hour publishing workflows into seconds, saving significant time across teams. He’s also an experienced educator and people leader—running onboarding, training sessions worldwide, managing direct reports, and teaching coding for Google. David brings a mix of research rigor (NASA and materials science background), startup grit (founding a water-conservation business), and open-source front-end contributions to PWA training labs.
