David Chavez

Hi! 👋 I'm David, a passionate software architect rooted in the vibrant tech scene of Berlin.

For the past eight years, I've had the privilege of building software and teams in Europe, engaging with a wide range of technologies and projects. I've been fortunate to tackle intriguing challenges presented by companies and organizations of all sizes around the globe.

These days, I'm busy building products at Double Symmetry and contributing to open-source software. My current goal is to make my open-source projects sustainable, allowing me to dedicate a significant portion of my work hours to open development. Beyond that, my current technical interests include Rust, graphics programming, and the Nintendo 64. I'm building a Rust-based Fast3D renderer.

When I’m not at the computer, I'm usually enjoying life with my wife and two kids, planning future trips or making music.
