Hi, I'm David.

I've loved technology my whole life. In second grade I taught myself BASIC and wrote choose-your-own-adventure games and little command line programs, for the fun of it. Our teacher used to test us on the coming week's material before the week even started, and if you aced it, she'd reward you with computer time. So my friend and I aced as much as we could, then spent all those hours learning everything we could on the computer, which at the time was an Apple II.

That love of learning stuck around. I built websites, got obsessed with how the internet worked, and did well in school. I took the SATs in fifth grade. Mostly I just loved learning and figuring out how everything worked.

Things shifted in high school. I got really into sports, and the friends I made there weren't into computers, so for a few years the tech side of me faded into the background. I ended up going to college for a liberal arts degree.

Getting back into it later wasn't a straight line. I graduated right as the financial crisis hit, so I took a job in sales at my late father in law's small commercial real estate company, and spent the next few years in other sales roles, mostly selling technology and software.

Eventually that old curiosity caught back up with me. I missed building things, so mid-career I made the jump into writing code. I became a software engineer at a medical imaging company, then joined Klaviyo as a pre-sales engineer, and later reported to the CTO as an engineering manager with a small team rebuilding our developer experience and APIs. While at Klaviyo, I also taught an advanced JavaScript and Web Development course at General Assembly and taught several non-technical people how to code, and we even hired one.

Then I did the thing I'd wanted to do my whole life. I started my own company, an AI software company. We're building agents that can function autonomously to do things for companies.

Here's why I'm telling you all this. I've stood on both sides. I've been the sales guy in the room who knew that if he'd only been fluent in modern technology, he could build everything the business people were asking for. And I've been the engineer and the founder who actually built it. I know what it feels like to be on the outside of technology looking in, and I know it's not as far a jump as it looks.

Artificial intelligence is the most interesting technology I have ever seen in my life, and I want to create content to help more people understand it.

If any of that sounds interesting, come along. Curiosity is all you need.
