Hi, I'm David.

I'm a designer, software engineer, and founder. I've spent my career on developer tools, open source, no-code tools, and internal business apps: the places design tends to forget.

I created GNOME Do and quicktype, and coined the term “papercut” while designing Ubuntu.

I founded Futureproof, an early humane tech company that made the Awareness app and Gadget Rules. I led design at Xamarin and in Microsoft's Developer Division.

I co-founded Glide, where we built a no-code programming model inspired by spreadsheets, an adaptive, managed design system, and the first AI app generator.
