David Kord is a senior software developer with 15 years of cross-platform experience building games, tooling, and cloud-native infrastructure from Montreal. He has shipped SDKs and editor tools at Unity, optimized CI/CD and Helm deployments, and improved backend concurrency and performance in projects like ChartMuseum and pip-tools. A hands-on developer comfortable across front-end (Angular/Hugo), backend Go/Python, and DevOps (containers, k8s, helmfile), he also contributes to notable open-source projects that bridge UX and deployment concerns. Known for pragmatic optimizations—such as build-time resource fetching and double-render templating for env support—he brings a systems-minded approach to developer ergonomics and scalable release workflows.
