Top SchoolDavid Viramontes is a Senior Software Engineer based in New York with 12 years of experience building full-stack systems in JavaScript, Go, Clojure, and Elixir. He has progressed through engineering and leadership roles across startups and scale-ups—most recently at GroupCollect after senior engineering stints at Fanatics and Lumanu—bringing a track record of delivering backend-first, production-ready services. An active open-source contributor, he has improved Postlight’s parser library by adding domain support, video embed transforms, and extractor bug fixes that help reliably extract content from messy web pages. David favors deliberate, maintainable progress—echoed by his GitHub motto “Move slow and fix things”—and balances shipping features with robustness. His background spans product-facing integrations and platform work, making him comfortable owning both APIs and the user-facing layers that depend on them. He pairs hands-on coding with pragmatic system design to reduce tech debt while accelerating delivery.
