About / Dave
Curious by default. Pragmatic when it counts.
I’ve always been drawn to the moment when a complicated problem starts becoming a clear, useful system.
My background crosses application development, content platforms, infrastructure, consulting, and team leadership. That range helps me move comfortably between strategy and implementation—and keep both grounded in what people actually need.
