Hi there 👋 I'm David. I build cool stuff with Ruby on Rails and Hotwire, build engineering and product organizations, and write articles to help others build cool things, too.

I have capacity in my consulting schedule currently, and am happy to consider opportunities with companies that align with my values. I'm available for short and long term consulting work to help your company:

• Build Rails applications
• Design and scale your engineering and product organization

On my own time, I'm working on:

• Trailbound — an outdoor adventure planning application, built mostly for me, so my wife know where I'll be, how long it should take, and how to get help in the unlikely event that something goes wrong
• Colby.so - My blog, where I write about things I find interesting
• Personal apps, built with AI. I'm leaning into Cursor-driven development and figuring out how to make the most of LLMs to ship cool stuff for myself and my family. Some of those cool things are on their way to the app store for other people to enjoy too.
