Top SchoolDavid Smith is a Cambridge-trained technologist and writer with 25 years' experience blending full-stack engineering, UX design, product architecture, and technical writing. He has led API design, event-sourcing journals and platform replatforming as a Solutions Architect at Bango, while shipping developer docs and production React apps across multiple engagements.

A creative author (novels under a pseudonym) and award-nominated novella writer, he brings narrative clarity to complex technical problems and documentation. He thrives in roles requiring both big-picture strategy and hands-on implementation, often acting as the SME who codifies standards and builds tooling to scale team productivity. Based in Cambridge, he’s adept at translating cross-disciplinary needs into practical API specs, internal tooling, and customer-facing systems.
