š Hi, I'm David
Iām a product leader who crafts intuitive software and hardware experiences, grounded in real human needs and built for lasting impact.
Current Focus
At Jetson, I lead strategy and development of 0-to-1 products that power our mission to electrify homes across North America, including our mobile app, thermostat, and smart home hub, all built to work seamlessly with our all-electric heat pump system.
Work Experience
I've worked as both an engineer and product leader at startups (including my own) and at larger companies like Shopify and Nokia. My experience spans launching software, payments, and hardware products, including time on the ground with manufacturing partners in Asia. You can find a detailed overview of my work history on LinkedIn.
Education
Electrical Engineering @ Dalhousie University (graduated with distinction), with internships at Electronic Arts, IBM, and the UK MRC (in The Gambia).
Hobbies
Outside of work, I tinker with 3D printing, electronics, and create interactive light art, including contributing to large-scale, climbable installations. I also enjoy cooking and working on my pizza recipe.
