Engineering leader, former startup CTO, and hands-on architect. I help teams turn difficult technical problems into reliable products.

Leadership with technical depth.

I’m David Pfeffer. I’ve spent more than 20 years building software and more than a decade leading engineering teams. I manage engineers and engineering managers, mentor technical leaders, and stay close to architecture, implementation, and production.

My work spans fintech, distributed systems, consumer applications, and connected devices. I’ve also taught programming and systems as an adjunct professor at Stevens Institute of Technology.
