Building software,
seeing the world,
eating well.

CurrentlyPlatform engineering at Triumph

I'm David and I love to build. I like working on interesting problems wherever they lie.

You will find me exploring random places around the world and trying new things, usually with my camera, often times with a fork and knife.

AboutA little more

I like building meaningful things.

Right now that means platform engineering at Triumph: infrastructure and the systems that make the whole thing work. It's not the flashiest part of the stack, but when it's done well nobody has to think about it, and the rest of the team gets to focus on building the fun stuff.

I studied computer science and psychology at UChicago and still think about both a lot. I care about how something works but also how it feels to use, so I keep drifting into design and frontend projects even though most of my day job is backend.

Outside of work, I love exploring and traveling the world, 30 countries and counting. I've taken a lot of road trips around the US, especially through the American Southwest, and there are tons of hidden gems up in the North Woods around Lake Superior too. I usually have my camera with me, and some of those shots are further down the page. The list of places I still want to go keeps getting longer.
