Barney Davis is a pragmatic software engineer and entrepreneur with 11 years of experience building full-stack applications and leading product-focused engineering work. As owner of Pan National Productions and a former senior developer at agencies and consumer platforms like Slickdeals and VoiceThread, he blends hands-on UI/UX improvements with backend delivery to drive usable, maintainable products. He favors automation, delegation, and continual learning—holding an MA in Business Management and regularly picking up new languages, libraries, and certifications.
