Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Wallach is a Senior Software Engineer in New York with 11 years of experience building high-performance, full-stack systems for academic research labs, healthcare platforms, and government contracting. He blends distributed computing and machine learning expertise with pragmatic engineering—rewriting major components, reducing technical debt, and shipping modular, testable systems across Python, Typescript/React, and AWS. His background in bioinformatics and microbiome data engineering informs a data-first approach, while earlier work optimizing algorithms for GPUs hints at a readiness to push methodological boundaries. Known for integrating modern functional React patterns with legacy code and creating developer tooling like live Python watchers, he excels at making complex systems maintainable and fast to iterate on. David is actively seeking problems that require inventing new solutions rather than applying off-the-shelf ML, bringing both research sensibility and production experience to the table.
