Hi, I’m Dave, and this is my Blog.

I’m a Principal Engineer engineer at Matterport! I build and maintain distributed and cloud-based systems. In past lives, I built custom and Drupal web-based projects. I enjoy solving challenging problems with clean & easy-to-use code backed by data.

If you ever meet me in real life, you’ll notice how inaccurate this picture of me is.

I graduated from the Rochester Institute of Technology in 2014, earning a Bachelors of science in Information Technology. In mid 2011, I began working full time for the school while finishing up the remainder of my studies.

Since then, I’ve worked for global tech giants like Apple and Hewlett Packard, along with a range of small and midsize silicon valley “startups” at various pre/post-IPO stages.

Outside of my job, I enjoy photography, biking, music, classic cars, electronics, and motorcycles. My roots come from the Adirondacks and I love returning there to hike.

I blog about internet culture, tech news, programming, and a mix of everything else I encounter. If you like any of these, you’ll enjoy my blog.

As coined by United States Senator Ted Stevens: the internet is a series of tubes - and you can find my links, here!
