Summary
David Oliver is a Senior Software Engineer with 12 years of hands-on experience designing and operating cloud-native infrastructure and backend systems, currently focused on delivering production solutions at DispatchHealth. He began his career as a data analyst at a financial SaaS startup and evolved into a cloud specialist fluent in AWS, Terraform, Salt, Puppet, Python, and SQL, leading IaC and automation efforts across multi-account estates. David has a track record of turning manual processes into scalable automation (Lambda, SWF, Terraform) and improving security posture by removing secrets from codebases and implementing SOC 2–friendly logging and credential management. He’s equally comfortable working with development teams to modernize legacy applications and architecting platform-level services that replace dozens of brittle instances. Based in San Diego, he balances deep technical rigor with pragmatic delivery—and is also an IFPA-ranked pinball player, a reminder that he thrives on precision and competitive problem solving.
