Hi, I'm David!

‍

I’m a founder 🚀 freelance marketplace builder 🧱 web3 evangelist 😛 and no-code hacker 🧙

I started my career as a freelance web designer in college. Then I hired other students to create a web agency. After I graduated, I founded a freelance marketplace called Sixty that got funded by Y Combinator and served over 3,000 clients across the globe.

Now I'm building a decentralized freelance marketplace called Braintrust and helping web3 founders at Orange DAO.

This is where you can learn about projects I've worked on, consume content I've created, find ways we may be able to work together, and generally learn more about me.

I feel like I say this every week, but I may have found a better ideal no-code tool.https://t.co/M6wU0RqP6z

Connects to any backend and exports React code.

Thx for pointing me towards it @gill_works @clutchcreator

Just spoke w/ @jmj about how hard no-code is at scale.

Someone needs to build Github for No-Code with:

- git-style release systems
- version control
- review processes
- auto testing
- cloud watch
- advanced integration w/ @github @zapier @airtable @webflow & all no-code tools

Amped to see my chapter "Planning for the switch from no code to code" drop in @webflow's new No Code Revolution e-book!

I wrote this over a year ago and learned a lot since, helping @LambdaSchool migrate at the 150 person scale. Will write updates soon. https://t.co/KmMvMYOggG

About

Bridge was founded by David Head to help venture-backed startups succeed using no-code tools: from scaling on them to migrating away from them.

While there's currently a great enthusiasm for the no-code tool, the practicalities of using them has not been as much a part of the discussion as it should be. There also are little-to-no strategic and tactical resources available for using them in the context of a venture-backed startup.

As a no-code tool user since 2013, David has experienced both their advantages and limitations of many times over. Most notably at Sixty, the Y Combinator-backed freelance marketplace startup he co-founded, as well as Lambda School, where he was a Data Engineer.
