Top SchoolDavid Schlegel is a Lead Member Technical Staff engineer with over a decade of experience designing, implementing, and performance-testing commercial software across cloud and on-premises environments. He specializes in building automated benchmarking and performance-test frameworks—most recently for patient identification APIs at athenahealth and for Cloudant/CouchDB at IBM—integrating Erlang, Python, Node.js, Docker, and CI/CD toolchains.

He has led cross-functional teams, architected multi-threaded simulation platforms, and turned diagnostic data into actionable insights via Jupyter-driven statistical analysis. An architectural design alumnus of MIT with a longtime interest in VR/AR and computer graphics, he brings a creative, multidisciplinary approach to engineering problems.
