Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Wen is a technical lead and entrepreneur with 13 years of experience building full-stack web and mobile products from startup MVPs to scaled platforms. Based in Vancouver, he combines hands-on engineering leadership at Conveyor with long-term entrepreneurial experience as co-founder of multiple ventures and director of his own consulting firm. His background spans product-led growth roles (Fairy/Postmates acquisition), early-stage founding, and advisory work, giving him a pragmatic blend of shipping velocity and business sensibility. Comfortable across front-end, back-end, and mobile stacks, he mentors teams while still diving into code to unblock delivery. He studied commerce and business administration, which informs his focus on measurable impact and sustainable engineering practices. A less obvious strength is his history of repeatedly founding and exiting projects, showing an ability to spot product gaps and shepherd ideas from concept to acquisition.
