Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Spector is a veteran writer-engineer and entrepreneur with 16+ years of experience building mobile, IoT and infrastructure systems and currently authors developer publications at Apple. He has a rare mix of hands-on engineering (C/Obj-C/Swift/JS/Python) and product leadership, having founded multiple startups, led engineering teams, and shipped platform integrations used by millions. In the early 1990s he helped put JP Morgan on the Internet, funded the Mosaic work that seeded Netscape, and delivered pioneering web-delivered risk products that changed financial risk modeling. A longtime open-source contributor and technical author (including an O’Reilly book and a Linux-in-enterprise column), he combines deep systems knowledge with storytelling to explain complex tech to practitioners and executives. Based in San Francisco, he’s also an IoT maker, coffee roaster and foodie — a practical technologist who still prototypes solutions end-to-end.
