Top SchoolDavid Dufour-boivin is a pragmatic back end developer with 11 years of professional experience, currently building Go-based services at HelloFresh in Berlin. He specializes in multi-threaded and communication-driven server-side systems, with deep expertise in Java/Kotlin, Scala, and C# ecosystems and a track record at companies like Zalando and nerdgeschoss. Comfortable across stacks, he pairs data-driven application design with hands-on implementation of both backend services and end-user GUIs.

Outside engineering he applies leadership and timing skills as an assistant conductor for a wind and percussion orchestra, an unusual cross-disciplinary experience that informs his collaborative approach to complex systems.
