I'm David. I've spent my career building software: product engineering inside a health tech company, websites and custom tools for small businesses, and the automation that ties them together.
Dav Labs exists because most businesses are stuck choosing between a templated site from a page builder and an agency engagement with layers of process between them and the person doing the work. There's a better middle: one engineer with real product experience, working directly with you, on a scope that fits.
The work spans modern websites, SEO, custom software, AI automation, Framer-to-React migrations, and ongoing fractional engineering. Different shapes, same approach: understand the business first, engineer the solution second.
What working together is like
You talk to the builder
No account manager, no handoff to a team you never meet. The person scoping your project is the person writing the code and answering the email.
Scoped small, shipped fast
Work is cut into pieces small enough to ship and judge. You see real progress in days and weeks, not a reveal at the end of a quarter.
Plain answers
If something is a bad idea, or a cheaper path exists, you hear it before you spend money on it. That includes telling you when you don't need what you're asking for.
You own everything
The repo, the domain, the accounts, the infrastructure. Nothing is held hostage, and any engineer can pick up the work after me.
