David Bernal

Developer

David Bernal has been coding in some fashion or another since he was 12. The boy-genius has been developing web applications for more than five years, and is our resident C#/.NET guru. He's interested in creative human-computer interfaces, developing computer vision APIs, playing chess, cooking, rocketry and contributing to everyone's favorite smarty site, Wikipedia.

He'll occasionally pick roads at random and drive them until they end, but he usually does that on his own time, when we're not paying him. David recently finished some work with Boeing on their new 787 Dreamliner. Surprisingly enough, no airplanes were harmed in the testing of their systems. Way to go, David! Our faith in the safety of flight has been restored.

In spite of the fact that parts of the interview sound like it was recorded at a high school basketball game, Eric provides some great insight, even suggesting at one point to "launch" an idea with just marketing
