Summary
David Wyman is a seasoned software engineering manager with nine years of formal management experience and a 20+ year engineering career building high-throughput, production-critical systems. He has led teams at scale for companies like Expedia and Disney, architecting services that handle millions of requests per second and messaging platforms sending hundreds of thousands of messages per second. Equally comfortable in hands-on roles, he has deep expertise across Java, Kotlin, web front-ends (GWT/HTML), Linux, and cloud/datastore technologies, and has driven major infrastructure improvements—cutting build/test times from hours to minutes and operationalizing CI/CD and deployment tooling. He prefers small, agile teams and brings a practical blend of systems administration, developer tooling, and product-minded engineering leadership. Outside of corporate roles he explores game development, 3D printing, and embedded systems, demonstrating a maker mindset that informs pragmatic prototyping and cross-disciplinary problem solving. Based in Tacoma, WA, he combines a strong track record of measurable business impact with a curiosity for new platforms and hands-on craftsmanship.
