01 / Expertise
A clear path through
hard problems.
From a difficult bug to a new system, get hands-on help from someone who works in the code.
Open-source engineering
Work through dependency issues, compatibility changes, and upstream contributions. Bring a maintainer’s perspective to the libraries your software relies on.
Architecture & troubleshooting
Understand an unfamiliar codebase, investigate reliability and performance problems, and make a practical plan for what comes next.
02 / Open source
The work is in the open.
Long-term maintenance means living with engineering decisions. Here’s some of the software David helps care for.
Logging / Node.js
winston
A logger for just about everything.
logger.info('Ready for what comes next.');info Ready for what comes next.
David contributes to and helps maintain Winston, the widely used Node.js logging library, and its ecosystem.
