About David

I am a hands-on/off technical leader with a strong product affinity and a solid experience within companies of various sizes (startups, scaleups, unicorns, large enterprises) and across diverse sectors (social media, biotech, marketing, banking, e-commerce).
I help companies achieve their goals at every stage of their development, supporting them in facing managerial, technical, and product-related challenges.
I am often described as competent, rigorous, a unifier, and someone with a broad vision of both business and technical challenges.
I remain passionate about development and regularly work on side projects (currently working on a mobile app to learn music theory), continuously expanding my skills.

I offer my expertise in the following areas:
- Project scoping, product design and MVP
- Software development (back-end & front-end)
- SaaS and cloud architecture
- Team organization and management (recruitment, oversight)
- Engineering Management in Agile methodology

Besides my professional experience, I'm a singer in the Corsican polyphonic choir A Ricuccata (for nearly ten years, I am deeply passionate about the singing voice, harmonics, and all things related to music. I have contributed to the production of a music album and am currently involved in preparing another, scheduled for release in late 2024.

Curious by nature, I enjoy reading on a variety of topics.
