I’m David. I design structural clarity into systems that weren’t built to hold it.

Most of my work lives upstream of tools — in the architecture, tension, and logic that determine how systems behave.

I’ve worked across no-code platforms like Make and Fusion, low-code development, and traditional software engineering. But tools aren’t the point. Structure is.

This site exists to publish the model:

• How automation systems drift
• Where clarity fails
• And how to build systems that hold their shape under change

If you’re working inside a system that works, but not cleanly, start with the Field Notes, or learn how I work on the Services page.
