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 Västerås, 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. Distella lets you create 100% personalised news podcasts, with episodes delivered straight to your favourite podcast app each morning.

NelsonWedding helps couples-to-be find high-quality vendors for their dream wedding, including Nelson's top wedding venues and wedding photographers.

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

Previous roles

Before focusing on 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.
