About David

I’m a Ruby on Rails developer with a background in marketing and analytics.

Born and raised in New Zealand, I moved to London (UK) shortly after university. I now live with my wife and children in Västerãs, Sweden, a small city about 50min from Stockholm.

When I’m not working or with my family, I enjoy reading, listening to electronic music and being active (running, lifting weights and training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu).

Work

I’m currently working on several projects, including Taylor, which turns your interests into a 100% personalised news podcast.

I also do some consulting work, helping early-stage companies build and grow web-based products and services.

Previous roles

Before my shift to web development, I worked in growth-orientated roles at early-stage SaaS and e-commerce startups. I was also the co-owner of an Amazon FBA-focused e-commerce business that was acquired in 2021.
