I'm Dave,

I bring a maker's eye with an engineer's hand.

I work on enterprise platforms that handle millions in assets. I build open source libraries that solve real problems. I craft browser extensions used by thousands. I write original articles that people come back to.

I started out in Animation and Flash, which taught me how things should feel. I've spent 10 years building web applications, which taught me how things should work.

Now I combine both to create eye-catching and satisfying experiences:

I work in the Vue ecosystem with Nuxt, TypeScript, and complimentary technologies.

Right now I specialise in UI architecture, component libraries, and design systems – but I'm just as comfortable working across the full application stack.
