About David
I’ve been building products and teams for two decades. Right now, most of my time goes into a new education startup, while I use howibuild.ai to share lessons and support others building in public.
I also take on select consulting projects — from websites and small business automation, to coaching teams on product best practices and AI, through to part-time product leadership.
Outside of work, I’m a soccer coach, coffee snob, and proud dad of two curious kids.
How I Help You Get Results
Websites & Projects
I design and build simple, effective websites and digital projects that don’t just look good — they drive growth and save time so you can focus on running your business.
AI Enablement
I work with teams to embed product best practices and show them how to use AI tools in a practical way that make decisions faster and execute with confidence.
Fractional Head of Product
For startups and growing teams, I step in part-time to bring clarity, momentum, and structure. Hands-on product leadership without the cost of a full-time hire.
