David A. Windham

( 1973 - )

Welcome Good People of the Internet,

I'm glad you found me. I, too, have a computer on a network, so here you are. No man is an island₁ even though this is an elevator pitch for one man show. I published this site as a professional overview so I can opine away on my personal site and not look like a weirdo to potential clients.

Right on,

I use this for my profile everywhere. It started off as the backside of a rabbit based on a Japanese Woodblock print.

Who?

I've been a developer for almost 20 years. I'm detail oriented, productive, creative, and try to enjoy my work. I have a BA in Studio Art from The College of Charleston which is where I first got started publishing websites. I've worked in advertising, publishing, education, and for an assortment of business clients. I try to help folks make practical software decisions and good use of the web by crafting custom applications.

What?

I like to say that all I do is search for answers on the internet and read the documentation, but I enjoy solving challenging technical puzzles using my experience, diagnostic, and analytical abilities. I try to keep a limited roster of well served clients, but I'll certainly make an effort to be helpful however I am able. I'm also open to booking my time for brain storming, research, or other endeavors.

This is the icon I use everywhere. It came from a card I designed for my business. The name came from our two dogs Zeke and Woozie. ( Click to see the original )

Note: According to my better half and parents, I'm particularly good at being critical ( ... perhaps it's from the years at art school ). I'm a good candidate to contact if you want some unbiased third-party feedback on your product, branding, design, website, or software. I'd be my pleasure to write up a detailed critique that'll give your team some actionable feedback.

When & Where?

I try to keep a flexible work schedule so that I can enjoy time away from work. I try to be efficient because productivity does not equal the amount of time I spend at my desk.

Request My Time

I book hourly sessions and I try to overlap projects in an effort to keep my schedule full. I also enjoy volunteering my time to help worthy causes and organizations.

I Work Anywhere

Although video chats are nice, I also enjoy meeting in person. I travel out of the Greenville or Charlotte International Airports.

Remote Support

I can remotely access and manage your computers and devices.

Availability

I'm available to my clients anytime and I'm always open to taking on new clients.

New projects are booked until May 2023.

Why?

I used to view business as a competition, but I've learned to look at it as a collaboration. I value the relationships and I'm always looking for a good match with my clients.
