Hello, I'm Dave
I completed my undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2017.
Professional Journey
Following graduation, I had the privilege of working as a Research and Development Engineer in Japan for a period of 2 years and 3 months. This experience allowed me to gain some familiarity with the Japanese language, particularly in a business context.
During my time as an R&D Engineer, I was responsible for tasks such as machine design using CAD/CAE tools and conducting experiments to ensure our products met international standards.
Transition to Software Development
In 2021, I decided to explore a new career path by enrolling in Avion School's Full Stack Web Development Course. This decision marked the beginning of my transition into the world of Software Development.
Current Work
Today, I am fortunate to be involved in contract and part-time collaborations with forward-thinking startups, where I serve as a Full Stack Developer with proficiency in Mobile and Web technologies. My Mobile Development experience includes working with Flutter for a year, while my Web Development skills encompass 4 years of working with NodeJS, Rails, and ReactJS. I'm on a continuous journey to learn and adapt, striving to become a versatile developer open to exploring various tech stacks and technologies.
AI and Machine Learning
In addition to my freelance work and full-time role as a Software Engineer, I have a broad knowledge of AI and Machine Learning. While I wouldn't consider myself a professional in the field, I have a deep interest and understanding of these technologies and their potential applications.
Continuous Learning
Furthermore, I'm always hungry for knowledge. Currently, I'm dedicating time to learning Rust, Go, and Zig, exploring new horizons in programming languages. I'm also in the process of transitioning to Vim as my text editor/IDE, as I believe in the power of mastering efficient developer tools.
Technology Stack
My professional background has exposed me to various programming languages, such as Python, Ruby, JavaScript, and TypeScript. Additionally, I've had the opportunity to work with a range of web development frameworks and technologies, including React, Rails, Express, Node.js, Next, MongoDB, and GraphQL, among others.
Passion for Innovation
I'm genuinely passionate about technology and innovation, and I aspire to contribute meaningfully to this ever-evolving field.
