Welcome

I'm David Metcalf. Thanks for dropping by my corner of the web!

I am a developer based in Sacramento, California. My core skills are JavaScript, CSS & HTML. I enjoy using those in the context of a library like React or Svelte to build scaleable apps. I also love to use them in their natural, unaided state, like this site! I have intentionally left it simple and lightweight to keep the focus on the content.

While I changed careers to web development in early 2020, my prior career was in sales and hospitality. I went from scrubbing dishes and busing tables as a teen, to running wine programs as a sommelier in my 20s and early 30s. I moved into sales and eventually managed the operations, ecommerce and marketing of a renowned winery in the Sierra Foothills.
