David Ashley is a Co-Founder at Chemetrian. He is proficient in Spanish. Colleagues describe him as "I had the pleasure of working with David for 3 years at Koch where we developed custom AI solutions. In those 3 years, David consistently showcased mastery of complex technical concepts and numerous business domains/problems. I first realized how special David was as he led our team in the development of a complex analytics model to identify risks in a real estate portfolio with over $3 billion in annual tax liability. David’s ability to integrate complex tax laws, develop advanced analytics models, design an intuitive user experience and lead both backend and frontend development was instrumental in creating ~$4 million in value for our company. While David is an extremely proficient engineer, his personal characteristics are what set him apart. During periods of low morale and high stress, his calm demeanor grounded our team. He is an incredible team player who consistently went above and beyond to foster a culture of respect, authenticity, and intellectual integrity. I would highly recommend David for any role. His expertise, work ethic, and collaborative spirit will make him an invaluable addition to any team." and "David and I were on the same team and worked on the same project. It was a pleasure working with him. David is an exceptional engineer and fast learner. He’s an expert in frontend technologies like React and other JS frameworks. He extended his capabilities to backend and DevOps technologies like Kubernetes and Terraform as well while working on the project, demonstrating his skills as an expert full-stack engineer. During our collaboration on a Production Site Optimization Project, which was of immense value to the company, he demonstrated quality and speed at the same time. David also quickly learned the Python FastAPI framework and contributed as a full-stack developer to the project whenever the team needed. He contributed to multiple projects like the Design System Component Library, Koch Tax Project, and many more, which were of great value to Koch. What impressed me most about working with David is his agility, resilience, leadership skills and teamwork. I feel grateful and, if I get an opportunity to work with him again, I’ll gladly do so. Any organization or team will be very lucky to have him."
