Welcome to DD Development Studio!

David 'DD' Davis

Founder & Lead Developer at DD Development Studio

Who Indeed

My name is David Davis and I am the DD behind DD Development Studio. I am currently living out life in Dunedin, FL with my girlfriend and our 2 cats.

With over 25 years of experience in technology, I've evolved from a hands-on software developer to a technical leader who excels at bridging the gap between business needs and technical solutions. My career spans multiple industries including telecommunications, manufacturing, e-commerce, and IoT, giving me a unique perspective on how technology can drive business success.

Most recently, I served as a Senior Developer at XCentium, where I led full-stack development for Optimizely Configured Commerce clients. Prior to that, I was a Senior Manager at Zayo, where I established and led a new Service Automation team responsible for developing back-end systems to automate customer circuit delivery. This role showcased my ability to manage multiple development teams while driving strategic initiatives.

My approach combines technical expertise with strong leadership skills. I believe in building high-performing teams through mentorship, clear communication, and strategic planning. Whether it's implementing complex technical solutions or leading cross-functional teams, I focus on delivering results that align with business objectives.

Creating this website has been a passion project of mine. I am really enjoying the creative freedoms it provides me and I expect that to come out more and more as the website progresses.

What do I like to be called?

David, Dave or Double D. Situational context matters.

What are you into other than computers?

Life & Adventure

I love life and being me. I spent 10 years living in the foothills near Denver - that was the great outdoors. Hiking, camping, skiing, snowshoeing, rafting, jogging, mountain biking. Travelling to Utah, Wyoming, New Mexico, South Dakota, and even Montana.

Now, I am enjoying the greater Tampa area. It's beaches, boats, sun and margaritas for us.

Wellness & Growth

I dedicate a good amount of time to work on my mental, physical and spiritual well being. It may sound strange, but I believe this self-care protects me against the darker intentions and energies that can be sent against us.

I enjoy studying and practicing martial arts. While I consider myself somewhat skilled, I am by no means an expert and have no intentions of using those skills for anything other than the cultivation of my health and spirit.

Family & Relationships

I love my beautiful girlfriend, Kelsey. Together, we live and grow in paradise, even completing our first 10k race in 2024. We have 2 indoor cats that we love to spoil. We can often be found sending smiles and good vibes around town.

Sports & Fandom

I am also a big fan of the University of Kentucky men's basketball team. Go CATS!!!

Enough about me. Thanks and have a great day!
