Building products that solve real problems.

I'm David — I build web applications, data platforms, and tools across frontend, backend, and infrastructure. I enjoy turning complex problems into reliable software.

(01) About

A bit about me.

I'm a software engineer focused on building and improving production systems across the stack — from architecture and implementation to deployment and optimization.

I enjoy building software that solves real problems — whether that's customer-facing products, internal tools, or custom systems tailored to specific workflows. Recently, I helped deliver an embedded analytics platform combining web development and data engineering to handle 1B+ records across 5,000+ customer databases.

Beyond application development, I enjoy working across different layers of software — from designing APIs and data models to improving infrastructure, performance, and reliability. I also have experience building data platforms with technologies like Snowflake and dbt. I care about ownership, clean architecture, and creating software that delivers real value.
