Hi ,I'm Dave - Featured's lead Backend, AI, and Automation Engineer.

I’m an engineer who can ship across the stack—from mobile apps and clean frontends to backend architecture and AI integrations. I’ve spent 3+ years building products from zero to millions of users and leading teams across different markets. Right now, I’m not chasing titles. The new reality in tech is simple: companies need hands-on engineers who can cover multiple roles, fix problems fast, and deliver without layers of overhead. That’s exactly what I do. What I’m best at: * Cleaning messy codebases and leaving them in a production-ready state (vibe code cleanup). * Building full-stack projects with Python, TypeScript, React, Next.js. * Integrating and orchestrating LLM agents (Claude, GPT, others) into real business workflows. * Developing mobile products that actually get used—not just shipped and forgotten. I’m not a theorist and not a manager for the sake of management. I’m a builder who writes code, launches working systems, and delivers results.

San Antonio is home base, and I love working with businesses along Highway 281, 1604, and into the downtown tech corridor. What drives me? I’m obsessed with efficiency and creating systems that work around the clock. I stay sharp by following industry leaders like Sam Altman, Fei-Fei Li, and Andrew Ng, and I always keep tabs on what’s next in the A.I. world. According to PwC, A.I. could contribute up to $15.7 trillion to the global economy by 2030 — and I’m here to help business owners claim their piece of that. If you’re ready to explore what A.I. can do for your business — or even if you’re just curious — reach out. Let’s talk about what you’re doing now and how we can make it smarter.
