Dawis

alias David Duong

I'm a software developer driven by a fundamental curiosity for how things work. My passion for building with various programming languages stems from the same place as my interest in philosophy and experimental music: a desire to first understand the rules of a system, and then see how creatively they can be applied.

I thrive at this intersection of logic and creativity. For me, the best code, much like an orchestral soundtrack or a jazz piece, is both elegantly structured and deeply inventive. I'm a fast learner who enjoys deconstructing complex problems and building software that reflects that balance - clean, efficient, and thoughtfully designed.
