Summary
David Hagler is a senior software engineer and former lead architect with 15+ years delivering high-availability web platforms and complex product migrations. He brings deep full‑stack expertise across JavaScript (React, Backbone, jQuery), Node, PHP/Laravel, Python, C/C++, and Lua, and has repeatedly modernized legacy UIs into performant React applications. Comfortable owning infrastructure, he pairs GNU/Linux operations and CI/test automation with pragmatic architecture decisions to keep products ship-shape under deadlines. His recent work spans AI/ML workflow integrations and performance-focused browser tooling (including a rebuilt DICOM slice viewer), reflecting both systems-level thinking and front-end polish. Based in Arnold, Missouri, he blends hands-on implementation with leadership in integration-heavy environments, often bridging older stacks and modern build/deploy pipelines.
