Hi, I'm Dave! For the last 20+ years, I've been working in critical product roles. Everything from back- & front-end engineering, to digital art direction, to UX conceptualiser, to design manager, to agile coach. I've served companies like Mercedes, VW, Vodafone, Spreadshirt, Staffbase, among others.

The whole system, including the backend is based on the Raiken.Studio CMS. There are still a few bugs left. Feel free to contact me directly if you discover some of them.
