Dave Balmer

Founder and CEO

Dave brings nearly 50 years of software development expertise to the table. He’s also a game designer, composer, graphic designer, and pixel artist.

I’m here to help and I bring decades of know-how with me. I do full-time development on my own projects, but make time to help other developers. I can help you learn new stuff or get past some hurdle you are struggling with.

Dave started programming at 6. In those days, personal computers were a new thing. Since then, he’s been at the forefront of several waves of computing technology including Enterprise Software Development, Networking and Internet Development, Web Development, Mobile App Development, and more recently AI-Assisted Development.

• He’s worked everywhere from tiny startups to large global brands as a consultant or full-time employee. Some notable names: HP, Yahoo, Palm, Nielsen, ARCO, AT&T, and Microsoft.

• He’s been CEO, CTO, Staff Engineer, Senior Software Engineer, Senior Developer, Product Manager, Developer Relations Engineer, and Consultant.

• Dave has used a lot of languages over the years including: JavaScript, Perl, Python, Prolog, Cobol (yuck), C, C++, TypeScript, CSS, Lua, BASIC, Visual Basic, Java, Assembly, and Go.

• He’s used lots of database systems: SQL (a dozen flavors), MongoDB, Redis, and a bunch that have lost favor over the years but still had interesting ideas to contribute.

• And all the typical tools like: Jira, Github, Miro, Slack, Zoom, Google Docs, and Discord. Basically, whatever gets the job done.

Interested in joining the team?

We’re looking for more senior level developers who have the time and ability to do this stuff. Basically, you schedule your own availability and get most of the revenue. Please email if you are interested.
