Simmer. Signature creative & technical work.

Hi. I'm David.

My two decades of deep engineering, design, and leadership expertise has been indispensable to a variety of startups, established businesses, educational institutions, and non-profits around the world.

I'm delighted to be a part of the Change team within Productivity Engineering at Netflix, currently building new tooling for our GraphQL developer experience.

Before joining Netflix, I was a Lead Engineer at Rinse in San Francisco, part of a stellar team building the best clothing care service in the country.

Prior to moving to the Bay Area, I ran a successful solo agency in downtown Minneapolis, and was the CTO & technical co-founder at Medgineering, where our three-person startup was ahead of the game in building one of the first online marketplaces for medical device quality & regulatory consultants. Medgineering was acquired in 2017.

Throughout my career, I've been a part of producing a huge variety of online application development, branding, & design, as well as providing product guidance, technical advice, and mentoring.

When you're in need of signature creative & technical work, let's talk.
