About David

Hey D2 here 👋! I am a recent Web Development & Business graduate with a passion for developing and troubleshooting digital technologies, including websites, apps, social media, and church management software. Growing up in a tech-savvy Christian family, I enjoy serving on my church's production team, updating software and social media while jamming to Lo-fi EDM. Currently, I am reworking our church's kids' ministry database and check-in systems. I love solving problems, optimizing systems, and continuously learning new skills to get the job done.
