Top SchoolDavid Takahashi is a Senior Software Engineer with over a decade of experience building SaaS products, currently at Adobe after the acquisition of Abstract’s Notebooks team where he served as Principal Engineer. He’s a full-stack generalist with deep backend and operations experience from roles at Unity Cloud Services and Vertafore, and a strong Ruby on Rails background reinforced by a competitive Code Fellows fellowship.
