If you’ve ever deployed an enterprise website, chances are you’ve benefited from one of the tools David's developed. After co-founding Four Kitchens, a successful web development shop, David found himself gravitating away from custom client work and toward infrastructure solutions. Large clients like Creative Commons, Internet Archive, The Economist, and Wikimedia had already benefited from his scalability and database optimization work. Now, his focus is Pantheon, where he's building an infrastructure to support developers and organizations through building, testing, and deploying content management sites.
