Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Stoker is a CTO and co-founder with 11 years of experience building and scaling a fast-growing edtech platform that serves thousands of college students and university partners. He blends hands-on full‑stack engineering — from React/React Native frontends and GraphQL to PHP/Laravel backends, realtime yjs servers, and Terraform-managed AWS infrastructure — with product and operational leadership. A University of Florida BSEE/MSEE, he began as an embedded developer and program integrator at Nielsen, where he led cross-functional teams and large field trials that honed his ability to move R&D into production. At Knack he’s applied that discipline to education, shipping video, realtime classroom, identity, and payments integrations at scale. Colleagues describe him as an entrepreneurial technologist who pairs deep systems knowledge with a talent for building developer-friendly tooling and design systems. Based in Tampa, he quietly retains a hardware and embedded background that informs pragmatic reliability choices across cloud-native stacks.
