Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDavid Sharnoff is a Principal Software Engineer based in Oakland with 16+ years building resilient, large-scale systems across big data, web search, spam filtering, and distributed computing. He prefers Linux and Go, and has a track record of shipping production microservices and policy/billing systems from scratch—most notably leading Blue Owl’s auto-insurance backend to live customers and a single-day policy-system cutover. At Google he bridged front-end and backend work to launch non-click attention signals and unsampled analytics features, and he contributes to open-source Go projects such as an OpenID Connect library. Comfortable across languages and eras of tooling, he combines startup pragmatism (founding and operating an ISP, building CMSes) with enterprise-grade fault-tolerance design. Notably selective about roles and contact methods, he focuses on long-term engineering work in the Bay Area rather than contract or relocation opportunities.
