Summary
David ODey is a seasoned UI/UX developer with over 15 years designing and engineering scalable, accessible web and mobile experiences from concept to production. He combines design-system architecture and front-end craftsmanship—shipping pixel-perfect React apps, reusable vanilla JS component libraries, and Storybook-documented patterns—to align design and engineering across large teams. At Pearson he led high-impact initiatives including an EPUB-to-API backend, an internal MERN project platform (Endeavor), and an AI-powered chat interface; previously he optimized commerce UI at O’Reilly to drive >$1M/day in sales. Based in Phoenix, he mentors engineers, champions performance and WCAG accessibility, and is particularly interested in applying AI/ML and real-time communication to solve real-world UX problems. A pragmatic creator who still hand-codes when needed, he blends hands-on prototyping with scalable system thinking to accelerate product decisions.
