Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavis Koh is an engineering leader with 11 years of experience building mobile, backend and geospatial systems from startup to scale, currently managing Geo Experience at DoorDash in San Jose. He’s driven iOS architecture and navigation platforms across multiple roles at DoorDash, shipping Map SDKs, address autocomplete/geocoding, and vehicle navigation features. Equally comfortable in backend serverless engineering, he has contributed meaningful fixes to the popular Serverless Framework—improving dependency exclusion and deployment correctness. His background includes founding a community SaaS where he designed serverless Node.js microservices and indexed DynamoDB/MongoDB schemas, demonstrating full-stack product ownership. A pragmatic engineer, he pairs rigorous testing practices (100+ tests added at Hiatus) with performance-focused refactors that materially reduced code and improved delivery cadence. He brings a blend of hands-on coding, QA/test automation, and manager-level coaching that accelerates complex location-aware product development.
