Top SchoolDavid Gaya is a seasoned technology leader and Technical Director with 18 years of experience designing and operating backend systems, DevOps pipelines, and cloud architectures from Barcelona. He has led build infrastructure and DevOps for live-service game titles like Payday 2 and Payday 3, blending hands-on engineering in Node.js, Python and Ruby with CI/CD, IaC and automation at scale. Comfortable across databases (Redis, MongoDB, MySQL, Oracle, DB2) and authentication standards (OAuth2, SAML, JWT), he pairs pragmatic API and system design with test-driven and behavior-driven development practices. A longtime mentor and board member of PHPBarcelona, he brings deep Linux DevOps roots and a track record of turning legacy systems into reliable, scalable platforms.
