Hi.

I’m David. I’m a staff product manager at The Washington Post where I lead product strategy for articles, topics, multimedia content and breaking news coverage.

Previously at The Post, I led the product strategy for our 2025 Election coverage including live election results, a swing state vote tracker, and The Post's first-ever iOS live activity. I also led our product strategy and rebuild of the Recipes product line. I have a passion for news, a background in engineering, and love bringing people together to create incredible user experiences.

Before joining The Post, I studied computer science and creative writing at Northwestern University where I graduated with honors and was the recipient of the Mary Kinzie Prize for poetry. I was also the captain of Northwestern’s triathlon team.

In my free time, I train for marathons and ultramarathons, eat a lot, backpack the national parks, and go on a lot of long road trips. I also still write some fiction.

I also work on other personal projects in my free time. Some of them are on the internet. All of these things were designed and developed by me.
