About Dave

I am a determined and hard-working developer who loves coding because the learning never ends. Whether building a previous career as a public educator, writing and self-publishing my first book, training for and competing in multiple half- and full-marathons, or going from 0 to 60 in an intense 13-week coding bootcamp, I enjoy identifying new challenges and growing from them.

I approach my work with a visceral desire and unwavering determination to help my team succeed. By doing so, I find great satisfaction in the process of failing forward together.
