David Xiao

CS student and developer focused on full-stack web applications, product-minded interfaces, and backend data flows. Joining Secco Squared as a Junior Web Developer in June 2026.

I'm a Computer Science senior at CUNY Hunter College and a developer focused on full-stack web applications, backend data flows, and reliable delivery. Fluent across TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, Python, Go, and C, I like hard, load-bearing work: rewriting legacy code into components, tightening REST APIs, and making systems cheaper to change.

I'm joining Secco Squared as a Junior Web Developer in June 2026. On the side I build Kyarafit (offline-first TypeScript monorepo for web + mobile), OutfAI (a recommendation engine with explainable rationales), and RandCompile (a GCC plugin hardening Linux kernel binaries).
