👋 Hey there friend!!! My name is David Dansby. Sometimes I go by DataDavd or datadavd online (a relic from data engineering days). I am a self-taught software engineer at Atlassian. I have a strong passion for secure data processing systems, Go, Python, and rare single-origin coffees. When time allows you can find me tinkering with one of my split mechanical keyboards. Given I just bought a house, I’ve recently been getting into home automation (Alexa-based); ask about my 40+ smart home devices I have connected.
💪 I’m currently working remotely at Atlassian as a Software Engineer on our Jira Align product (mostly working on the C#/.NET backend sprinkled with some frontend work in React). Previously, I worked on the Bitbucket Cloud Data Privacy and Security team as a software engineer with a focus on all things security and data protection. And before that, I was a data engineer on the Data Analytics and Engineering team at Atlassian that owned the core data pipelines (we typically ingested 500GB+ of data each day into our pipelines; and processed even more!!!).
💻 Outside of work I'm constantly learning and improving my skills. Currently, I've been heavily using AI tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, Bard, HuggingChat, and Claude 2.0 to enhance both my software engineering skillset, work efficiency, and overall life productivity.
📚 Outside of software engineering and tech, I'v been diligently learning French to deepen my understanding of her culture, and enhance my communication with my wife's family and friends. And, since I've moved to Seattle last year, I've been snowboarding and hiking with my brother now that I'm closer to him. Lastly, I love using travel points to fly business/first class around the world with my better half, my amazing wife.
