about

David Garcia.

Principal architect at Wells Fargo working in the cloud platform infrastructure space, with a focus on Kubernetes, service mesh, and application identity.

I work on the platform layers that help application teams run and secure software at enterprise scale: cluster foundations, service-to-service communication, workload identity, policy, and the practical integrations that make those systems usable.

Previously, I helped USAA adopt cloud-native technologies, with a particular focus on AWS Lambda, API Gateway, AppSync, EKS, Fargate, App Mesh, and adjacent platform services. Before that, I worked on high-performing REST APIs for customer data used by applications across the enterprise.

This site is where I keep notes on the projects, systems, and technical decisions that are useful enough to revisit.
