Top SchoolDavid Clements is a seasoned technology leader and CTO based in Boulder, Colorado, with two decades of experience launching products across aviation, healthcare, and AI. He regularly operates as a fractional CTO and founder, helping early-stage teams translate business outcomes into secure, scalable architectures and high-confidence technical decisions. A hands-on principal architect and author (Node Cookbook), David blends platform strategy with execution—leading migrations from monoliths to microservices, building data pipelines and AI-augmented workflows, and navigating regulated environments.
