Hi! David Plakon here.
I design software for engineering & data teams.

I started my career as an audio engineer / music producer and, inspired by Ableton, became captivated by the design of complex tools. I've applied that obsession to designing tools for software engineers & data people.

I believe prototypes are worth a thousand meetings, excellent product sense is more valuable than data, and great design can be a competitive edge for technical tools.

I currently live in Austin, TX with my wife Lara and our 2 daughters. Outside of work, I like to make music with AI and modular synths, cycle, and play chess.
