We asked David some thoughtful questions
David, how did you discover your passion for data?
That was quite some time ago! I guess it was around the age of 14. My computer was already a combination of components spread out on my desk. The only thing that connected these components were some cables and the power on/off button. From there, I first learned to program simple things. However, I realized that if you want to store your data, you need... a database! That's where my passion for data started. My future choices all revolved around informatics, data, and economics.
Why did you specifically choose Plainsight?
Easy! The people and the values. Having such a like-minded group of people makes working a fabulous experience. I really get a lot of energy from seeing how people outperform by moving things forward through teamwork.
What is your best work hack?
Snoozing! And I'm not talking about snoozing my alarm clock. I love the snooze functionality on emails. It helps me do the right things at the right time.
