Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDavid Silva is a Senior Software Engineer with 13 years of hands-on experience building features and leading teams at ESL FACEIT Group, combining full‑stack development with a strong interest in security, networking, and hardware. Based in Düsseldorf, he brings practical expertise across Node/React, Java, and systems automation from roles at PwC, TIMWE, and earlier startups, and has progressed from junior engineer to team lead and senior contributor. A lifelong tinkerer and white‑hat enthusiast, he pairs production engineering with curiosity for vintage computing, computer modding, and vulnerability research—often learning by dissecting hardware and code. He’s an advocate for open source as a learning and collaboration tool and has shipped custom tooling such as anticheat and automation scripts earlier in his career. Known for pragmatic problem solving and mentoring, he thrives in cross-team environments where simplicity and reliability matter. Outside work he draws on competitive gaming experience to inform teamwork, focus under pressure, and an experimental approach to engineering.
