Language learner and technical leader

About

I'm Dave, a software engineer and technical leader with 13+ years' experience across startups and enterprise. Most recently, I joined an early-stage startup as its first external hire and helped scale the engineering team past 35 people, while supporting the business through a Series A of $20M+. I like watching how founders turn ideas into shipped products, and I'm particularly interested in the architectural decisions that let a team move fast now without paying for it later.

Phonique: French Conjugations - A new way to learn French verb conjugations.

Phonique turns French verb conjugation from a chore into a habit, which you'll enjoy using and will improve your French language skills. Unlike reference apps that just show you tables, Phonique makes you practice — then remembers what you struggled with and brings it back at the right moment. Learning verb conjugations shouldn't be a grind, use Phonique to elevate your language journey.
