Top SchoolDavid Vogelbacher is a software engineer with eight years of experience specializing in distributed systems, machine learning, algorithms, data structures, and formal verification. He spent the bulk of his career at Palantir, progressing from forward-deployed engineer to lead software engineer where he led backend teams and drove a migration from a special-purpose service to a scalable, general-purpose backend for Foundry Compute. Now based in Los Angeles and currently at Nominal, he combines hands-on backend architecture experience with practical leadership in production systems. His academic background from KIT (B.Sc. with distinction; M.Sc. in Computer Science) underpins a methodical approach to building reliable, auditable systems.
