WEAVING A WEB OF SKILLS BY COLLECTING & CONNECTING DOTS
David Smolen

SYNTHESIZING
CODE AND CREATIVITY

Hey there, I'm David - a full-stack developer, entrepreneur, and former sales guy who likes building useful stuff and solving real problems. Right now, I'm focused on shipping a C#/.NET + React app to streamline operations for our family's growing party rental business. It's part ERP system, part portfolio project, and 100% in the trenches - inventory, scheduling, logistics, the works.

I didn't take a traditional path into tech. My background's in psychology, and I spent years in a high-touch sales role before transitioning into software. That previous experience taught me how to think from the user's perspective and how to move fast, wear a ton of hats, and get things over the finish line.

Outside of dev, I've dabbled in 3D modeling, video editing, sound design - I like learning weird things and connecting dots across disciplines.

I'm always excited to collaborate on meaningful projects where curiosity, ownership, and real-world impact are part of the culture.
