Hi, I’m David — a software engineer and artist who studies the hidden mechanics of everyday life and turns them into tools, systems, and stories. My work sits at the intersection of civic data, financial logic, and creative technology, using code as a way to expose how infrastructure shapes behavior, opportunity, and power on projects that are both conceptual and operational.
The Sunset Index (2025)
is a speculative futures exchange built on Los Angeles parking-meter data. Part civic mirror, part financial satire, part functioning app.
“Some Wall Art for the Crib”
transforms code, sensors, and ambient light into a living installation that makes software feel architectural.
Hammer & Hope
is an expressive, experimental online space for discussion around Black politics and culture.
Across React Native, embedded hardware, data pipelines, and custom interfaces, I use engineering as a medium: a way to prototype alternative realities, challenge default assumptions, and create work that’s culturally attuned, technically rigorous, and built for real people.
