Hi, I'm David Eyk (rhymes with "like"). I work with execs looking to drive innovation in their businesses through software. Sometimes I even build that software, fielding custom web applications that meet real needs and deliver real ROI.Custom web applications tend to get more expensive and less reliable over time. I'm an experienced backend engineer specializing in building and maintaining performant and reliable Python web applications. I know the strategies and techniques to make your Python-based software systems easier to work with and more reliable to operate. I've been building reliable, secure, and high-performance Python web applications since 2009, using the latest techniques available. But I'm not just a code nerd—I care about understanding your business, and building software that helps your business succeed and responds quickly to your business' changing needs.Three things need your top priority:1. your crucial business data must be safe and secure2. your customers (and your staff!) should be able to use your web app to reliably get their jobs done3. your cost of maintenance should be kept to a minimum.To these ends, I build Django web apps that follow the latest security practices. I take the time to understand your business requirements, and I build your application in a way that make future changes easier. My simple processes reduce your risk and put your business in the driver's seat.I believe that every business can benefit from fast web applications that meet their customers needs, and I know that software projects don't need to be endless money pits. Take the time and the expense to build it right the first time and reap the benefits of reduced maintenance costs forever.I write regularly about the methods I use to get these results at a level that any business owner will understand.
