Backend & Platform Engineer

David Nam

I’m a backend and platform engineer with 4+ years of experience building production systems across e-commerce, marketplaces, and robotics.

I enjoy turning ambiguous, early-stage ideas into reliable systems, connecting architecture with security, deployment, and operations.

I value ownership and constructive collaboration, and I’m growing into a broad systems engineer who can connect product thinking with AI-assisted execution.
