Hi, I'm
Dustin Do
Senior Software Engineer
4+ years building full-stack products at scale. I architect microservices, ship features fast, and lead teams that care about quality.
About Me
Who I Am
I'm a Senior Software Engineer with 4+ years of experience building full-stack products that scale. I architect systems end-to-end — from API design and database modeling to cloud infrastructure and DevOps.
Currently, I lead engineering at Vamp, an all-electric rideshare platform I built from the ground up. In under six months, we grew to ~7,000 live customers with 4.9-star ratings on both app stores.
Before that, I independently scaled Valvrare, a content platform, from WordPress to a modern full-stack app serving 50,000+ users — re-architected with React, Node.js, Redis, and MongoDB.
I care deeply about code quality, performance, and building things that real people actually love to use.
