David Stack is a Strategic Technology Advisor and indie founder with 13 years of experience building user-centered web products and cloud architectures for startups, nonprofits, and creators. He blends research-rooted problem framing—from USDA- and NASA-funded climate work to 40+ user interviews at Climatebase—with hands-on full-stack engineering (notably contributions to the gae-init App Engine starter project). As a technical co-founder and consultant he ships fast, prioritizes simple, intuitive UX, and automates operations to free clients to focus on their work—recent CRM and migration work helped unlock $52k in donations and saved dozens of monthly hours. Now focused on tools for wellness professionals, he couples empathy-driven discovery with pragmatic engineering to turn qualitative insight into scalable SaaS.
