Top SchoolRui David is a systems software developer with 10 years of experience building low-latency, high-throughput distributed systems and database internals, currently contributing to exabyte-scale object storage at NetApp. He has led engineering teams and startups—co-founding a CRM used by over 1,000 advisors and scaling a seed-stage company from 6 to 100+ people—while maintaining a hands-on focus in C++, Golang, Ruby on Rails, and real-time systems. His background spans graph databases and graph ML research, including implementing influence functions for GNNs and shipping features and testing frameworks for an open-source graph DB. Notable early work includes inventing a real-time distributed trading scanner and a proprietary C storage engine that led to an acquisition, showing a pattern of turning deep technical inventions into production products. Based in Waterloo, he pairs academic rigor from a Waterloo master's program with practical experience delivering systems to millions of users.
